Tone Profile

A vintage-style, driven guitar tone with a touch of grit and sustain, perfect for classic rock riffs and solos. The sound is warm and punchy, reminiscent of the late 60s/early 70s rock era.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with the amp cranked to achieve natural tube saturation.
• A single microphone was used close to the speaker cone, capturing the raw energy of the amp.
• The fuzz face was used sparingly to add sustain and harmonic complexity.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Marshall-style amp and drive it hard.
• Experiment with a fuzz face pedal to add grit and sustain, but avoid overdoing it.
• Position an SM57 close to the speaker cone for a direct, punchy sound.
• Adjust the amp and pedal settings to find the sweet spot where the tone is both aggressive and musical.
