Black Parade Sleaze-Rock Bite — Dry Les Paul Grind
The song is recreated with the Black Parade’s documented Les Paul and JCM800 foundation, and Premier Guitar’s current rig documentation still associates a late-1970s Les Paul with live performances of the track. The original studio control and microphone positions are not published, so the dry, lower-gain settings below are approximated from the album rig.
