Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1996-1997 (OK Computer sessions). Jonny Greenwood used his Telecaster Plus with Lace Sensor pickups, running into a Vox AC30 and a Marshall Shredmaster distortion pedal. Effects chain for the solo includes Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser and DOD 440 Envelope Filter. No evidence of amp reverb or delay used in this section.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control over picking dynamics to trigger the envelope filter, fast and precise lead phrasing, and the ability to manage swirling modulation effects for a synth-like, expressive sound.
