Purple-Era Chord Bloom — Rolled-Back Intro & Wide Chorus
Dean DeLeo’s broader 1990s architecture used humbucker guitars with a Demeter preamp, VHT stereo power amp, cabinets and a clean Vox component. Song-specific reconstructions describe the intro as a rolled-back neck-pickup tone before the fuller bridge-pickup sections; exact Purple-session controls remain undocumented, so the values below approximate the supported rig.
