Tone Profile

The guitar has a raw, distorted, and slightly muddy tone, characteristic of early garage rock. It's a simple, aggressive sound that cuts through the mix.

Recording Notes

• The distorted sound is likely a result of overdriving the amp, possibly with the microphone placed very close to the speaker.
• The recording was made quickly and with minimal equipment, capturing the raw energy of the band's live performance.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Stratocaster-style guitar with single-coil pickups.
• Set a Fender Twin Reverb amp to a moderate volume and increase the gain until a light distortion is achieved.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the desired amount of grit and presence.
• Consider using a touch of overdrive or fuzz pedal if needed to enhance the distortion.
