Original Recording
Studio recording, 1982-1983, Jackson Browne's Downtown Studios. Vibroverbs were the main amps for Texas Flood. Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer was the only pedal used during the solo, according to engineer Richard Mullen. Roland SDD-320 Dimension D chorus was added in mixing for subtle stereo thickening on the solo. No amp reverb used; reverb is from room/mix. No delay, wah, or other effects. Pickup is neck position. All settings refer to the studio recording, not live.
