Recording Notes

• The guitar tone features a clean amp sound with occasional use of tremolo.
• Overdrive/fuzz pedals are used sparingly, mostly for accents and to highlight dissonance.
• The reverb is subtle, adding depth without washing out the clarity of the guitar.
• The original recording involved a blend of direct and miked amp signals.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean Fender Telecaster into a clean amp, such as an Ampeg Gemini I.
• Use a subtle tremolo effect to add movement to the sound.
• Experiment with a ProCo RAT or similar distortion pedal for moments requiring aggressive fuzz.
• Use a small amount of reverb to create space and depth.
• Blend a direct input signal with the miked amp signal to capture the full sonic spectrum.
