Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a dynamic microphone close to the cabinet to capture the raw energy of the overdriven amplifier.
• The wah pedal was used expressively to shape the tone and create the signature 'siren' effect.
• Layering and double-tracking techniques may have been employed to enhance the thickness and impact of the guitar track.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Stratocaster-style guitar and dial in a high-gain tone on a Marshall-style amplifier.
• Place a Pro Co RAT distortion pedal before the amp to add extra saturation and sustain.
• Experiment with the Dunlop Cry Baby Wah pedal, focusing on smooth, vocal-like sweeps to mimic the original sound.
• Consider using a slightly scooped EQ setting to emphasize the clarity of the guitar in the mix.
• Record multiple takes and pan them slightly to create a wider, more immersive sound.
