Notes

Studio recording, 1989 album 'Big Game'. Vito Bratta stated in interviews he used the ADA MP-1 preamp for White Lion's late 80s recordings, having moved away from Tube Screamers. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this solo. Effects and settings are for the studio solo section only.
