Hysteria

The main riff is primarily a bass line, but the guitar fills are huge and distorted. Mesa Dual Rectifier gives the right heaviness.

The guitar occupies the upper register above Chris Wolstenholme’s dominant bass riff, using the Absolution-era Diezel and Soldano cabinet. During the solo, a stereo delay carries Whammy-shifted repeats while the dry guitar retains its original pitch; exact control values are approximated from the documented rig.
