otherUnknown Bitcrusher/Lo-fi effect (plugin or pedal, model unknown)
Notes
Studio recording, 2021. Gear confirmed for album era; Telecaster and Vox AC30 visible in studio photos and cited as used by Finneas. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section. No explicit pedalboard evidence for the solo, but heavy distortion and fuzz are clearly audible.
Tone Character(10)
massive, saturated distortionfuzzy and compressed wall of soundaggressive, raw, almost blown-outsustained power chordslo-fi, bitcrushed texture near endloud and in-your-facetight, focused attacklimited dynamic rangemodern rock productionnotably thick and heavy
Difficulty
The solo section is rhythmically straightforward but requires control to avoid muddiness under extreme fuzz, and stamina to maintain aggressive power chords throughout.
