Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in chorus set to a moderate level to recreate the cold, spatial character of the original tone.
- Engage the delay effect at a moderate level to add ambience and subtle repeats to your riff.
- Ensure to palm mute for a tighter sound during heavy sections, maintaining clarity in the low-end.
