- The amp was likely set to a moderate volume to achieve a clean but slightly driven tone.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Fender Telecaster or similar guitar with single-coil pickups.
- Use a Fender Tweed Deluxe amplifier or a similar low-wattage tube amp.
- Position a Shure SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
- Set the amp to a clean tone with a touch of breakup when strumming hard.
