Recording Notes

  • A blend of direct input and mic'd amplifier signal might have been used to achieve the final tone.
  • The Boss CE-1 chorus was used subtly to add depth and movement to the clean guitar sound.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a clean amp setting on a Vox AC30 or similar amplifier.
  • Use a Fender Telecaster with the neck pickup selected for a warmer tone.
  • Apply a light chorus effect using a Boss CE-1 or a comparable chorus pedal.
  • Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot for capturing the amp's tone.
  • Consider blending a DI signal for added clarity and definition.
