Studio recording, Loaded album (1970). No evidence of pedals or effects other than amp reverb. Guitar and amp confirmed for this era and album by period photos and interviews. No solo section exists in the Velvet Underground's studio version; the famous solo is from Lou Reed's later live albums, not the VU original.
