Recording Notes
- The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier in a relatively small room to capture the raw energy.
- The amp settings probably favored a bright, overdriven tone to cut through the mix.
Recreation Tips
- Use a guitar with humbucker pickups for a thick, aggressive sound.
- Select an amp with a bright, chimey character and crank the gain for overdrive.
- Experiment with microphone placement to capture the desired amount of room ambience and proximity effect.
- Consider using a subtle boost or EQ to enhance the upper midrange frequencies for added bite.
