Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with the Vox AC30 set to a clean but slightly overdriven tone, capturing the amp's natural warmth and character.
• A Neumann U87 would have been placed carefully to capture a balanced and full sound, with attention to minimizing unwanted room reflections.
• The Boss CE-1 chorus provides a subtle but noticeable widening effect, enhancing the sense of space and adding a gentle modulation to the guitar's tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp setting on a Vox AC30 or similar amp model.
• Add a subtle chorus effect using a Boss CE-1 or a comparable chorus pedal.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that captures the amp's character without harshness.
• Use light compression to even out the dynamics and enhance sustain.
• Adjust EQ to taste, aiming for a warm and smooth sound with no harsh frequencies.
