Recording Notes

• George Harrison often used a Fender Stratocaster, and the Vox AC30 was a staple amp in the Beatles' arsenal.
• The Neumann U67 was likely used for miking the amp, known for its versatile sound. Compression from a Fairchild 660 smoothed out the dynamics and added sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster in the bridge or middle position.
• Use a Vox AC30 amp model or a similar British-style amp with a slightly overdriven setting.
• Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and increase sustain. Aim for subtle compression; the goal is to enhance the existing tone, not drastically alter it.
• Experiment with EQ to brighten the sound and add clarity without making it harsh.
