Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1996-1997 OK Computer sessions. The solo section features Jonny Greenwood using his Fender Starcaster through a Vox AC30, with effects including Space Echo and likely a DigiTech Whammy, DOD 440 Envelope Filter, and possibly EHX Small Stone Phaser or Mutronics Mutator. Gear confirmed for studio use on 'Lucky' solo by multiple sources. No evidence of live/tour substitutions for this section.

Difficulty

The solo demands intermediate lead technique, expressive phrasing, and real-time effects control, but does not require advanced speed or highly technical runs.
