Notes
Studio recording, 2020 (Power Up album). Angus Young is known for using his Gibson SG and Marshall JTM45/Plexi amps in the studio. No evidence of pedal use except possibly a Schaffer Replica for boost/companding, but no confirmation for this track. No evidence of effects loop or additional pedals for the solo.
