Tone Profile

The lead guitar tone is a high-gain, aggressive sound with a clear and articulate attack. It's characteristic of late 90s/early 2000s pop-punk.

Recording Notes

• The aggressive nature of the tone suggests a close-mic'd amp in a treated space to minimize unwanted reflections.
• The song has layered guitars, so this patch is likely doubled in the mix.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-output humbucker guitar and a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp model.
• Use a dynamic microphone like a Shure SM57 or Sennheiser MD421.
• Dial in a tight, focused sound with a moderate amount of gain.
• Double-track the guitar part for added thickness.
