Notes

Studio recording, 1994-1995. No evidence of clean amp channel or clean pedal use on the self-titled album. All sources and audio indicate fuzz/distortion is always on for riffs; no evidence of a clean section or clean tone in the main riff. No pedal or amp settings for a clean tone found in any source.

Tone Character(8)

dark and thick (typical for this band, but not for clean)warm and rounded (if clean, likely neck pickup)mellow highs (estimated for clean SG neck pickup)full-bodied low endslightly compressed (if amp is pushed at all)smooth attackno audible breakup (if truly clean)no chorus, flanger, or time-based effects audible in any section

Difficulty

If a clean section exists, it would be very easy to play due to slow tempo and simple riffing; no technical challenges are present.
