Recording Notes
- The Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp was likely used to achieve the high-gain, slightly scooped sound.
- A Shure SM57 is a common choice for recording guitar cabinets due to its ability to handle high SPLs and capture a focused sound.
- The guitar's semi-hollow body likely contributes to the resonance and sustain of the rhythm part.
Recreation Tips
- Use a semi-hollow guitar like a Gibson ES-335.
- Choose a high-gain amplifier such as a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier.
- Dial in a tone with scooped mids for the rhythm part.
- Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone close to the speaker cone when recording.
