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 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.

This is my friend Glenn. He takes guitar seriously.
Signal Chains (beta)
Matt and I have been working on Signal Chains for a few months, and are finally somewhat ready for the public to see it. I’m going to create a crisis here to make what we did seem so much cooler:
The Problem: Audio gear is expensive. Few brick and mortar stores carry expensive audio gear and will let you get your grubby little hands all over it before purchasing. Conversely, when people post audio samples online, you’re not always sure what is involved. Is it really that mic that sounds that way? Or is the preamp they’re using coloring the sound?
The Solution: Signal Chains is essentially a way for audio engineers (or those who call themselves audio engineers) to share their signal flows through audio samples, documenting each piece and process involved. It does this by providing a somewhat standardized method of doing so.
Coming soon… from the attic!
Forty-Five hours of recording in three day’s time at the residence of everyday/everynight in preparation for their next album, “Trust”. This was my nook for the weekend.
