Recording Notes

• The lead guitar sound is achieved through a combination of the guitar's natural tone and the amp's overdrive capabilities.
• A close-mic'd cabinet captures the direct sound of the amp, contributing to the clarity and punch.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster for its bright and versatile tone.
• Use a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier amp set to a moderately overdriven setting.
• Place a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone to capture the amp's direct sound.
• Adjust the amp's EQ to achieve a balanced tone with clear highs and present mids.
