Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 2014. Mike Kerr uses a bass guitar split into two chains: one for bass (Orange AD200B) and one for guitar (Marshall, model unspecified), with heavy use of octave and distortion pedals to create the riff sound. No evidence of a standard 6-string guitar on the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic control, muting, and coordination with octave/fuzz pedals, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
