Pickup Position
Neck pickup
Studio recording, 1989-1990. The main riff section features a clean tone with subtle chorus, achieved by running the Les Paul into a clean JTM45 and using a Marshall The Guv'nor pedal for overdrive on melodic/solo sections only. For the riff, the amp is set clean and chorus is likely from a Roland SDD-320 Dimension D rack unit. Pickup is neck position. Effects chain and settings are based on studio sources and contemporary interviews, not live or later performances.
