Studio recording, 1995. Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker into a Peavey 5150 head for the main heavy rhythm tones on 'Again'. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the original recording. No confirmed pedal use for the riff section; distortion comes from the amp.
