Recording Notes

  • The lead guitar sound is likely a combination of direct input and mic'd amplifier, blended to achieve clarity and warmth.
  • Overdrive is added using a combination of the Proco Rat for distortion and the Ibanez Tube Screamer to sweeten the distortion.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a clean amp setting with a slight mid scoop.
  • Use the Tube Screamer to add a touch of warmth and sustain.
  • Introduce the Proco Rat for a focused and punchy distortion.
  • Blend direct input signal with amp signal to taste for added clarity.
