Everybody does a cover of this song at some point, I’ve heard. I did mine about a year ago and never did anything with it. I made it a rule to use no digital synthesizers in this recording. The bass is a Yamaha CP-30, the drums and percussion are acoustic, and the rest is guitars. The swelling pad sounds were achieved with electric guitars through a Multivox Multi Echo MX-312.
If I remember correctly, most of the instruments were tracked mono with a Cascade Fat Head. Electric guitars were a G&L ASAT Special Semi-Hollow (Tribute) and a Mirage Beram. I think I ran them through a Electro-Harmonix Stereo Pulsar into an early 90’s made in USA Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Drums were recorded with two separate distant-miked full kit tracks (panned hard left and right) and one close-ish miked snare track, all hitting the Pro VLA II pretty hard. That’s about all I remember. Enjoy.
Update: I added a chain for one of the guitar sounds in this recording. Shows a little about how I got the sound.
