Notes

Studio recording for 'Return Trip' (Dopethrone, 1999). Jus Oborn is widely documented as using a 1970s Gibson Les Paul into a Marshall JCM800 for this album. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio version. No evidence of additional amp layering for the riff section.

Tone Character(10)

massive, saturated fuzz wallthick, sludgy low endscooped, doomy midrangesustained, compressed power chordsloose, blown-out fuzz characterslow, crushing riffingdark, syrupy sustainraw, unpolished amp driveno audible reverb or delayextremely heavy, monolithic tone

Difficulty

The riff is slow and based on simple power chords, but requires tight timing and control of a very saturated fuzz tone to avoid muddiness. The main challenge is in tone shaping and maintaining clarity at high gain.
