Guitar recorded with a Schoeps CMC5 microphone with a cardioid capsule through a Sontec MPA-1 discrete pre-amp and a dBx 165a compressor.

Room ambience recorded with a AKG C-24 stereo tube condenser microphone through Altec 459 tube pre-amps and a dBx 162 stereo compressor. These were then equalized and combined through a sphere Eclipse console and recorded on an Ampex ATR-102 tape machine with Flux Magnetics "mastering" heads using BASF 900 1/2 inch tape at 15 i.p.s.
