Notes

Studio recording, 1975 original session (remastered in 2025). Ace Frehley used his Les Paul with DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge, plugged straight into a cranked Marshall Super Lead 100. No evidence of pedals used for the main riff/rhythm section; distortion is amp-based. No evidence of effects loop or additional studio effects on the riff section.
