Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier.
• A combination of overdrive from the amp and a distortion pedal was used to achieve the desired tone.
• The guitar was likely double-tracked to create a thicker sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar guitar with humbucker pickups.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp set to a moderate gain level.
• Add a Pro Co RAT distortion pedal to push the amp into overdrive.
• Place a Shure SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone.
• Double-track the guitar part and pan each take slightly to create a wider stereo image.
• Adjust EQ to taste, focusing on boosting the midrange frequencies.
