Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with the Vox AC30 pushed to the edge of breakup, providing a natural overdrive. The Neumann U87 would have captured the warmth and detail of the amplifier. A chorus pedal was used to add depth and movement to the guitar sound.
• The amp may have been in a live room or a larger space, as it has some natural ambience from the room.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster or similar guitar with single-coil pickups.
• Use a Vox AC30 amplifier or an emulation of one.
• Set the amp for a slightly overdriven tone, with the gain just before it gets too distorted.
• Add a subtle chorus effect to thicken the sound.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot of the amplifier.
