Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a combination of close-miking and room microphones to capture both the direct sound of the amplifier and the ambience of the recording space.
• Compression was applied during the mixing stage to even out the dynamics and add sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster style guitar into a Vox AC30 amplifier or similar British-voiced amplifier.
• Use moderate gain on the amp to achieve a slightly overdriven sound. Adjust the EQ to emphasize the high-mid frequencies for clarity and bite.
• Add a compressor, like a Urei 1176, to even out the dynamics and increase sustain. Experiment with different compression settings to find the sweet spot.
• Consider using a combination of close and room microphones when recording to capture a balanced sound.
