We recorded that at his home studio. For those who care about such details, he played a 335 through a distortion box of some sort, with a delay pedal, and then into a Fender head, finally into a power soak DI box (can't recall the brand), straight into the line input of his converter. No speaker or mic was involved. In retrospect I would have added the delay after the fact, but it was printed on the takes, and the astute observer will notice it is discontinuous in places where I comped the takes together. But I don't think anyone hears it in context with the song.
wow.....335! I thought it was a pedal steel or lap steel for sure. Amazing control and tone....and that overdrive is beautiful....growling lows, creamy highs.....and via DI is pretty impressive too.....He obviously knows his set-up inside out!
