Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amp in a well-treated studio environment.
• The overdriven tone suggests the amp was driven hard or boosted with a pedal.
• Some post-processing may have been applied during mixing to enhance the clarity and punch of the guitar.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul style guitar into a Marshall JCM800 amp.
• Dial in a moderate amount of overdrive on the amp.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone close to the speaker cone.
• Experiment with EQ and compression during mixing to refine the tone.
