Recording Notes

• The Gretsch White Falcon was Billy Duffy's main guitar during this era.
• The Vox AC30 is known for its chimey clean tones and aggressive overdrive when pushed.
• Chorus was added to thicken the guitar sound and add some movement.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp setting on a Vox AC30 or similar amp.
• Use a Gretsch White Falcon or another guitar with Filter'Tron pickups.
• Add a touch of overdrive to the amp to get a slightly crunchy tone.
• Use a chorus pedal like the Roland Dimension D to add depth and dimension to the sound.
• Adjust the EQ to taste, but focus on keeping the sound bright and clear.
