Recording Notes

• Jack White is known for using unconventional recording techniques and vintage gear to achieve his signature sound.
• The combination of the hollow-body guitar and the fuzz pedal creates a unique distortion character.
• The Silvertone amp likely contributes to the raw and vintage vibe of the tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a hollow-body guitar, as this is crucial to the tone. A semi-hollow can work as well.
• Use an EHX Big Muff Pi to get a similar fuzz sound. Adjust the tone and sustain knobs to taste.
• A vintage tube amp like a Silvertone or a similar low-wattage amp will help capture the original tone. Experiment with different amp settings and speaker combinations to dial in the sound.
• If you don't have access to a vintage amp, try using an amp modeling plugin or pedal to emulate the sound of a Silvertone or other similar amp.
