Recording Notes

• The song features a blend of clean and overdriven tones to create dynamics.
• A close-miked amp captures the direct sound, likely with a dynamic microphone known for its high SPL handling.
• The raw and slightly dirty tone comes from a combination of tube amp distortion and fuzz pedals.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Telecaster-style guitar for its bright and cutting sound.
• Use a Supro Thunderbolt amp or similar vintage-style tube amp for natural overdrive.
• Add a Big Muff for fuzz and an MXR Micro Amp for a slight boost to drive the amp harder.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the right balance of direct and room sound.
• Use compression in post-production to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
