Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1993 (Bloody Kisses album). Guitar is confirmed as Les Paul Standard '60s with bridge humbucker for the solo. Amp is Marshall JCM800 2203. Effects chain includes Boss CE-2 Chorus. No evidence of additional drive/distortion pedals for the solo section; all gain from amp. Pickup selector set to bridge. Settings are from studio session, not live.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique due to the combination of high-gain articulation, sustained bends, and tight timing with chorus modulation. The low tuning and need for clarity add to the challenge, but the solo is not extremely fast or technically advanced.
