Notes
Studio recording, 1976 (original Royal Scam session, remaster uses same tracks). Larry Carlton confirmed using only the 5E3 Tweed Deluxe with Steely Dan. Multiple sources suggest no pedals for rhythm, but the solo likely used an MXR Distortion+ pedal. No evidence of other effects or alternate guitars for the solo.
