Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (Mellon Collie era). Guitar and amp confirmed for this era and album. Solo section likely used bridge pickup for clarity and cut. Effects chain includes fuzz, phaser, delay, and possibly octave/fuzz boost for solo. Settings estimated based on period-correct sources for studio, not live.

Difficulty

The solo features fast runs, wide bends, and requires precise control to maintain clarity through heavy fuzz and modulation effects, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
