Original Recording
A reconstruction of the solo tone. Gear attributions and estimated settings are explained in the research notes below.
Studio recording, 1989/1990. All sources agree on the Les Paul and JTM45 reissue head for the studio version. The Guv'nor pedal is the main source of overdrive for the solo. Pickup selector: bridge pickup for most of the solo, neck pickup for some melodic lines. Effects include delay and subtle chorus from a Roland Dimension D rack unit. No evidence of wah or flanger. Settings reflect studio recording, not live.
Amp Settings
