Tone Profile

A clean but slightly gritty rhythm guitar tone that provides a solid harmonic foundation without overpowering the lead elements, with a touch of chorus.

Signal Chain

Recording Notes

• The rhythm guitar was likely recorded with a condenser microphone placed a few feet away from the Vox AC30's speaker.
• A touch of room reverb was likely added in the mix to give the guitar some space.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp setting on the Vox AC30, just breaking up slightly when strumming hard.
• Use the neck pickup on the Telecaster for a rounder tone.
• Add a subtle chorus effect (Roland Dimension D) to thicken the sound.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the amp's sweet spot.
