Notes
Studio recording, 1986. Guitarist Stuart Adamson used a Yamaha SG2000 into a Marshall JCM800 for the riff/distorted sections. No direct evidence of pedal use for distortion; the amp was likely cranked for overdrive. Chorus and delay effects are clearly audible and are a signature part of the Big Country sound. Settings are estimated based on era, amp, and genre as no direct numeric values are found in sources.
