Notes
Studio recording, 1982. Guitarist Jan Hendriks is credited with using a Fender Telecaster into a Fender Dual Showman Reverb for Doe Maar's signature sound. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; clean, rhythmic tone typical of ska/reggae. No explicit studio pedalboard or amp setting documentation found.
