Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording for 'Purpendicular' (1996). Steve Morse used his signature Ernie Ball Music Man guitar and custom ENGL amps. Effects chain included Keeley C2 Compressor, TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb, and Flashback Delay. Settings are estimated based on typical Morse/ENGL usage for this era and genre. No explicit pickup position for riff section found, but Morse commonly uses bridge or bridge+middle for rhythm.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate technique due to syncopated chord changes, dynamic picking, and clean articulation, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
