Notes
Studio recording, 1973. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section. Gear inferred from era, genre, and period photos/interviews. No direct source confirmation for exact serials/models, but this is the consensus for early 70s UK heavy rock bands. No evidence of live-specific gear for this recording.
