Revenge-Era Lament — Clean Arpeggio & Wide Chorus
The contrast between the song’s cleaner picked passages and its broad distorted chorus is recreated with the documented Three Cheers-era JCM2000 TSL100. Exact guitar and channel settings were not published, so the values below are practical approximations from the album’s Marshall-based recording palette.

Notes
Let the clean notes ring without too much modulation. When the chorus arrives, add width with doubles while retaining the same mid-forward voice.
