Notes

Studio recording, 1992. Jerry Cantrell used a blend of three amps for the Dirt album: Bogner Fish for low end, Bogner Ecstasy for mids, and Rockman Headphone amp for highs. Main guitar was a G&L Rampage with a single high-output humbucker in the bridge. Settings are estimated based on typical usage and era, as no direct numeric values are available for this song/section.
