Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in delay set to a moderate level to recreate the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Engage the reverb for added depth, but keep it subtle to avoid washing out the riff.
- Ensure your guitar volume is set high to compensate for the lower output of the Melody Maker.
