Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked cabinet, focusing on capturing the direct sound of the amplifier.
• An overdrive pedal may have been used to tighten the low end and add sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-gain amplifier like the Peavey 5150 and dial in a moderately aggressive tone.
• Use an Ibanez TS9 or similar overdrive pedal to boost the signal and tighten the low end.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot on the cabinet.
