Tone Profile

Abrasive and aggressive fuzz tone with a slightly scooped midrange, creating a raw and powerful sound. It's both cutting and thick, providing a strong presence in the mix.

Recording Notes

• The guitar sound is built around a fuzz pedal into a Vox AC30 amplifier.
• Experiment with different fuzz settings to achieve the desired level of aggression and saturation.
• Blend a DI signal with the amplifier track for added clarity and definition.
• Microphone placement is key to capturing the raw energy of the amplifier; try a close mic on the speaker cone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Telecaster-style guitar for its bright and cutting tone.
• Use a Fuzz Face to generate the aggressive fuzz. Adjust the fuzz and volume knobs to dial in the desired amount of distortion.
• Set the Vox AC30 for a slightly overdriven tone. Adjust the EQ to scoop out some of the midrange for a more modern sound.
• Blend a DI signal with the amplifier track to add clarity and punch.
