Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1992. Yngwie typically used his scalloped-neck Strat with DiMarzio HS-3 bridge pickup for solos. Amp was a Marshall JMP 50 MK II, possibly with a DOD 250 Overdrive Preamp. Pedals and effects are based on period-correct sources and audible effects in the solo. No evidence of live rig or later signature amp for this recording.
