Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely double-tracked to create a thicker sound.
• The Big Muff Pi was a key component in achieving the signature fuzz tone.
• The Soldano SLO-100 amp provided a high-gain foundation for the sound.
• The SM57 was likely placed close to the speaker cone to capture the aggressive tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster and a high-gain amp like the Soldano SLO-100.
• Use an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi for the fuzz effect, adjusting the sustain and tone controls to match the original sound.
• Experiment with different microphone placements on the speaker cabinet to find the sweet spot.
• Double-track the guitar part to add thickness and depth to the tone.
• Slightly scoop the midrange frequencies to achieve the characteristic scooped sound.
