Tone Profile

A raw, distorted guitar tone with a biting fuzz character, creating a sense of urgency and rebellion. The sound is aggressive and in-your-face, yet retains clarity and definition.

Signal Chain

Recording Notes

• The guitar sound was achieved by running the guitar signal through a Vox AC30 amplifier pushed to its limits, resulting in natural tube overdrive and distortion.
• A Fuzz Face pedal was used to further enhance the distortion and create a more aggressive and biting tone.
• The Neumann U67 microphone was carefully positioned in front of the amplifier to capture the raw energy and character of the distorted sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with an Epiphone Casino or similar hollow-body guitar known for its bright and resonant tone.
• Use a Vox AC30 amplifier and crank the gain to achieve natural tube overdrive.
• Introduce a Fuzz Face pedal into the signal chain to add a layer of intense fuzz and distortion.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that captures the desired level of aggression and clarity.
• Consider using a vintage-style ribbon microphone for a warmer and more vintage-sounding tone.
