Notes

Studio recording, 1991. Guitar is the Kris Derrig Les Paul replica with Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro humbuckers, neck pickup selected. Amp is the Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 head into a Marshall 1960 4x12 cab. No distortion pedal; amp gain only. Delay is clearly audible in the solo, likely rackmount digital delay (e.g., Roland SRV-2000 or similar).
