Tone Profile

A raw, slightly fuzzy, and dynamically overdriven guitar tone, reminiscent of classic blues-rock but with a modern garage edge. It's thick and present, cutting through the mix with a gritty character.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was recorded with a single Shure SM57 placed close to the speaker of the Supro amp.
• The overdriven sound comes primarily from the Supro amp being pushed hard.
• The raw and slightly lo-fi character is emphasized by simple recording techniques.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a vintage-style guitar like a Teisco Del Rey or similar single-coil instrument.
• Use a small tube amp like a Supro Model 24 and turn it up until it starts to naturally overdrive.
• Experiment with the microphone placement on the speaker to find the sweet spot, usually slightly off-center.
• Keep the signal chain simple: guitar -> amp -> mic -> recorder.
• Focus on playing with dynamics to create the subtle variations in the overdrive.
