Recording Notes

• The guitar tone is characterized by heavy distortion and the use of effects to create a wall of noise.
• Likely recorded in a raw, unpolished setting to enhance the chaotic feel.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a guitar known for its sustain and clear tone, such as a Travis Bean.
• Use an Ampeg V4 amp for its powerful and defined sound, or a similar high-wattage tube amp.
• Employ a Pro Co RAT distortion pedal to achieve the core distortion tone. Experiment with the settings to find the sweet spot between sustain and feedback.
• Add an MXR Blue Box for the octave and glitch effects, adjusting the controls for the desired level of chaos.
• Experiment with feedback by controlling the distance between the guitar and the amp.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone for recording the amp, focusing on capturing the raw energy of the performance.
• Mix the guitar with other instruments with careful attention to avoid muddiness, letting the guitar's unique tone stand out.
