Recording Notes

• The Rickenbacker 360's jangly characteristics are essential to this tone.
• The Vox AC30 amp provides the warmth and light overdrive.
• Microphone placement would likely have been close-miking to capture the direct sound of the cabinet.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Rickenbacker-style guitar if possible.
• Use a Vox AC30 or similar amp known for its chimey overdrive.
• Set the amp to a slightly overdriven setting, just enough to add some bite.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the right balance of direct and room sound.
• Add a touch of chorus or flanger to thicken the sound without making it too washy.
