EFFECTS
This is tricky because of all the guitar tracks on the record,
so here a rough expression of how the combinations come across.
{section: Intro}
Chorus & mild compression
{section: Verse1}
Mild distortion
{section: Chorus}
Fuzz w/the tone turned down
{section: Outro}
Bluesy at the start, getting fuzzier all the time.
