Notes

Studio recording for 'A Solitary Reign' (2017). Lennart Bossu used his Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JMP head through a Jimi Hendrix Marshall cab. Pedals for lead/solo included Fulltone OCD (18V), Providence Stampede STD-1, MXR Carbon Copy Delay, and TC Electronic Hall of Fame Mini Reverb. EarthQuaker Devices Levitation reverb was used for clean tones but not the solo. No evidence of amp-based effects. Effects loop usage not specified.

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive phrasing with sustained bends, careful control of feedback and sustain, and precise timing to match the ambient effects, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
