Recording Notes

  • The organ sound was likely captured with close miking on the Leslie speaker cabinet to emphasize its unique rotary effect. Additional gain staging may have been used to achieve the overdriven tone.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Hammond organ VST or a real Hammond if available.
  • Use a Leslie speaker simulator or a rotary effect plugin to replicate the swirling sound of the Leslie cabinet.
  • Apply a touch of overdrive or saturation to add grit and character to the organ tone.
  • Experiment with microphone placement techniques on the Leslie simulator to fine-tune the sound.
