Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording for 'Frampton Comes Alive!' (1975/1976), riff section. Guitar is the original 'Phenix' Les Paul Custom, amp is a Jose-modded Marshall 100W head. No evidence of pedals for main riff distortion; overdrive is amp-based. Effects chain for riff is minimal, focus is on amp drive. Pickup selection and settings inferred from era and live/studio photos.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level rhythmic precision, dynamic control to manage amp breakup, and clear articulation for the classic rock crunch. While not technically advanced, the groove and tone are critical for authenticity.
