Notes

Studio recording, 1976. Guitarists Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham both used Les Pauls into Marshall amps for the Jailbreak album. No evidence of pedals for the solo, just guitar into amp. No evidence of effects loop or additional rack gear. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical Thin Lizzy studio setup.
