Recording Notes

• The core tone relies on a high-gain amp setting with scooped mids to avoid muddiness.
• The wah pedal is used expressively to create the signature vocal-like sweeps and accentuate certain frequencies.
• A close mic on the amp captures the direct and aggressive sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster for its bright and cutting tone.
• Use a high-gain amplifier like the Peavey 5150 or a similar amp model with the gain set high.
• Scoop the mids on the amp's EQ to create a more aggressive and modern sound.
• Engage a wah pedal and experiment with different sweep positions to find the sweet spots that mimic the vocal-like quality.
• Place a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone to capture the direct sound of the amp.
