  • A condenser microphone was likely used to capture the amplifier's sound with clarity.
  • The clean tone suggests minimal overdrive or distortion from the amp.

Recreation Tips

  • Use a Telecaster-style guitar with the bridge pickup selected for a brighter tone.
  • Set the Vox AC30 to a clean or slightly overdriven setting, emphasizing the chimey characteristics of the amp.
  • Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that captures the amp's clarity and presence.
  • Use light compression to even out the dynamics without sacrificing the natural feel of the guitar.
