Notes
Settings and gear confirmed for the original 'Hysteria' album and live performances in the late 1980s. This profile is for the riff section of 'Hysteria (Live)'. Chorus pedal (Boss CE-2) is always on for the clean, layered riff sound. Pickup selector is set to neck. Studio and live tones are nearly identical for this section, with live rigs often using rackmount preamps or simulators for reliability but aiming to match the original JCM800+CE-2 sound.
