Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with an SM57 close to the amp speaker.
• Overdrive achieved with a Pro Co RAT pedal.
• Amp settings likely favored a clean tone with slight breakup to allow the RAT to define the distortion character.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster and a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp.
• Place an SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone.
• Use a Pro Co RAT pedal for overdrive, adjusting the distortion and filter to match the warmth and sustain.
• Experiment with the amp's volume and tone controls to find the sweet spot where the pedal and amp blend seamlessly.
