Criteria Studio Twin-Guitar Crunch — Main Riff
The record combines Joe Walsh's brighter single-coil attack with Don Felder's thicker Les Paul rhythm voice. Line 6's artist template identifies a 1950s Strat and 1959 Les Paul, both in standard tuning and paired with Fender Deluxe-style amplification; knob positions below are practical approximations.

Notes
The main riff needs tight muting and a dry, percussive attack. If recording, double it with a Les Paul track rather than adding more gain.
