Recording Notes

• Multiple passes of the guitar were recorded and layered to enhance the rhythmic pulse.
• The tremolo effect was achieved using a Schaller TR-68 Tremolo pedal.
• The guitar was fed into multiple Fender Twin Reverb amps running in parallel
• The amps were mic'd with Neumann U87 microphones.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster-style guitar for the bright, clear tone.
• Use a Fender Twin Reverb amp as a foundation.
• Experiment with the Schaller TR-68 Tremolo to achieve the desired rhythmic pulse, setting a slow and deep waveform.
• Record multiple guitar tracks and pan them slightly to create a wide, spatial effect.
