  • Subtle compression was likely applied during mixing to even out the dynamics.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Fender Telecaster-style guitar and dial in a clean tone on a Vox AC30 or similar amp.
  • Use a Shure SM57 or comparable dynamic microphone placed close to the speaker.
  • Add a touch of chorus using a Boss CE-1 or similar chorus pedal for a subtle shimmering effect.

  • Apply gentle compression during mixing to enhance sustain and even out the dynamics.
