Notes

No eq or effects were used during mixdown. The guitar's volume and tone controls were left at maximum during all recordings. The guitar signal went to the Barber E.Q. set for a nice "blackface" style tone, then to the normal input of the amp. The volume on the Beaufort was set to a little above 2 and the tone control was between 9 and 10 (goes to 12). The mic was about 3" off the speaker grill at a slight angle.
