Studio recording, 1990. Jerry Cantrell used a G&L Rampage with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge into a Marshall JCM800 2203 modified by Bogner for most of Facelift, including solos. Some sources mention other amps (Bogner Fish, Soldano, Peavey 5150), but the JCM800/Bogner mod is most directly tied to this album's core tones. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the solo section.
