Tone Profile

A thick, slightly fuzzy, and warm overdrive tone that's both melodic and powerful. It has a touch of harmonic richness and sustain, perfect for expressive lead lines.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a blend of close-miking and room miking techniques to capture both the direct amp tone and the ambience of the room.
• The overdrive sound comes primarily from the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp, with possible additional boost from the MXR Phase 90.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use the bridge pickup for a brighter, more cutting tone.
• Set the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier to a moderately high gain setting, focusing on a thick, warm overdrive rather than extreme distortion.
• Experiment with the Dunlop Cry Baby Wah to add some tonal color.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone positioned close to the speaker cone.
• Slightly boost the mids to enhance the warmth and presence of the guitar.
• Add a touch of MXR Phase 90 for subtle movement and character.
• Double-track the guitar parts for added thickness and dimension.
