Studio recording for 'All Over You' (Throwing Copper, 1994). Chad Taylor used a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JMP head through a JANICE or Marshall 4x12 cab. No evidence of additional drive pedals for the riff section; distortion comes from cranked amp. Effects are minimal for riff section. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical JMP usage for 90s alt-rock. No evidence of modulation or delay in riff section.
