Effects & Signal Chain

No effects used for this tone

Notes

Studio recording for 'Around the Fur' (1997). Clean sections likely used the same guitar and amp as the heavy parts, but with the gain reduced and possibly rolling back the guitar volume. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean part in available sources.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise timing and muting to keep the part articulate and noise-free, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast playing.
