Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording for 'Hotter Than Hell' (1974). Ace Frehley is widely documented as using a Les Paul Deluxe with mini-humbuckers into a Marshall Super Lead for this era. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; signal is likely guitar straight into amp. No evidence of effects loop or additional rack gear for the riff.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight palm muting and aggressive picking, but uses simple power chords and straightforward rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
