Early Demo Haze — Epiphone Les Paul & Space Echo
The released track originated from an earlier demo recorded with Noel’s 1992 Epiphone Les Paul and later remixed for the album. Ground Guitar places the Marshall Valvestate, Watkins Dominator and Space Echo in that early setup; the control values below are representative because no session knob sheet survives.

Notes
Use a slightly softer pick attack than on the album’s faster songs. Keep the echo almost subliminal and let the sustained chords create the haze.
