Notes
Studio recording, 1981 (Discipline album). The riff section features Adrian Belew using the Roland G-303 to control a Roland GR-300 Guitar Synthesizer, with the synth output as the primary sound source. The JC-120 is used for amplification. No evidence of additional distortion/overdrive pedals; the 'distorted' sound is from the GR-300 synth engine, not a traditional amp or pedal. All evidence points to the synth as the main source of the driven tone.
