Notes

Studio recording, 1975 (In Trance album). Uli Jon Roth is known to have used a Stratocaster with single-coil pickups and Marshall Plexi amps in the studio during this era. No direct evidence of pedals used on this specific track, but overdrive/boost is likely for solo. No evidence of live rig for this song part.

Difficulty
