Original Recording
Studio recording, 1994. Jonny Greenwood used the Telecaster Plus V1 with the bridge humbucker for the solo. Amp is the Fender Eighty-Five, as confirmed for this era and song. Pedals: Marshall Shredmaster for distortion, DigiTech Whammy WH-1 for octave-up effect. Settings from My Iron Lung are used as a close reference due to lack of direct studio documentation for 'Just', but all sources agree this is the core setup for The Bends era solos.
