Recording Notes

  • The Troggs were known for their raw, live sound. Likely recorded quickly with minimal overdubs.
  • The distinctive fuzz tone is central to the song's character.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Gibson-style guitar and a vintage-style fuzz pedal.
  • Use a cranked British-style amp (e.g., Vox, Marshall, or Selmer) for a slightly overdriven sound.
  • Keep the playing simple and focus on the energy of the performance.
