Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with the amp cranked up to achieve the overdriven sound.
• A single microphone was probably used, placed a few feet away from the cabinet to capture the amp's natural tone and room ambience.

Recreation Tips

• Set the amp to a slightly overdriven setting, with the gain around 6-7.
• Use a microphone with a neutral response, such as a Neumann U67 or Shure SM57.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that captures the amp's tone.
• Double-track the guitar part to add thickness and width.
• Use a Gibson SG with humbucker pickups.
