Live Set

3Dark CleanA fat, dark semi-clean tone with DELAY on to fill it out.
4Organ GuitarA sound first used in the 60's made by plugging a guitar into a rotating organ speaker. Use the bridge pickup for best bite.

11Rock LeadGood rock solo tone with OVERDRIVE and DELAY. Try it with the bridge pickup.
