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.
