One is in a small isolation booth for a compressed sound, and the other is set up in a hallway for natural reverb. Get a Marshall head, crank it to 10 and plug in a Les Paul. The old-school punk tone is raw and stripped down - there’s no candy-coated stuff - so stay away from pedals and gadgets.

Strip Down: Dave Cell Block, Cell Block 5 If you understand what your guitar sound is like 'in the raw,' you’ll have a much better idea of how it should be 'cooked.' A room is an instrument, and it affects the other instruments. If that works, then the rest of it is easy. I’m a great believer in getting the sound right in the studio.
