Notes
Studio recording, 1992-1993 (Siamese Dream sessions). Clean riff section. Billy Corgan is known to use his '74 Strat for the clean parts, direct into the Marshall JCM800 with KT88 tubes for more headroom and less breakup. No evidence of pedals in the clean signal chain for this section; Corgan has stated he prefers as direct a signal as possible for rhythm/clean parts. No evidence of chorus, phaser, or other modulation on the clean riff. No evidence of amp reverb being used.
