Yeah I love The Kinks. Always have. And You Really Got Me is one of their best. Van Halen did a fine cover, but the classic is my favorite.
So, I wanted to get a nice guitar sound to back up the vocals. I used my Les Paul with a Fulltone Full-Drive 2 Mosfet distortion box that I haven’t used in forever. I really like the roasted distortion sound I got out of it.
I have to say, I feel very differently about the tone out of some of my effects pedals hearing it recorded rather than live like I’m used to. I have always heard my guitar out of an amp, not in headphones, and the techniques are totally different between the two.
I hope you like it.
