Original Recording
Studio recording, 2006. Ray Toro used his sunburst Les Paul for the solo section of 'Welcome to the Black Parade' (distinct from his black '78 Les Paul used on other tracks). Amp is a Marshall head, as confirmed by multiple rig rundowns. No explicit mention of pedals or effects for the studio solo, but delay and reverb are clearly audible in the recording. No evidence of modulation effects or wah on the solo. Pickup selector likely set to bridge for solo cut and clarity.
