Notes

Studio recording for 'Doing It to Death' (2016). Jamie Hince uses a multi-amp blend for the core riff tone, with the Orange Dual Dark 100 as the primary amp (profiled via Kemper), and additional amps blended for tonal complexity. Guitar is a vintage Harmony Bobkat H15 with DeArmond Gold Foil pickups. Effects are a mix of pedals and rack units. Settings are estimated due to lack of explicit numbers for this song/section.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires precise muting and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed. The main challenge is maintaining the groove and controlling the gritty, feedback-prone tone.
