Revenge-Era Funeral Dynamics — Flanged Clean & Marshall Surge
Ray Toro’s Three Cheers recording rig is documented around a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100, while the Boss BF-2 can be heard in the transition between the song’s chorus and verse. The restrained opening and full-band impact are recreated as separate parts; exact amp, microphone, and BF-2 control positions were not published, so settings are approximated from the documented album rig.

Signal Chain
Notes
Keep the opening narrow and restrained, then make the distorted entrance feel dramatically larger through double-tracking rather than excessive gain.
