Tone Profile

The lead guitar tone is characterized by a warm, slightly overdriven sound with a touch of fuzz and a subtle wah-like filter sweep. It's a dynamic tone that emphasizes the guitar's midrange.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a single SM57 close to the speaker cone.
• Multiple amp takes were likely layered to thicken the sound.
• The wah pedal was used subtly to add movement and color to the lead lines.
• There may have been some console EQ and compression to finalize the tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp model or similar high-gain amp.
• Add a Fuzz Face model before the amp for a vintage-style fuzz tone.
• Experiment with a wah pedal to find a sweet spot that complements the melody.
• Use a dynamic microphone model like an SM57 for a close-miked sound.
• Consider layering multiple takes to add depth and thickness.
