Tired of Sex

Pinkerton was self-produced for a rawer live feel and is associated with Gibson guitars and a Marshall 6100-era amplifier rather than the polished Blue Album approach. Exact song controls and any distortion-pedal use remain uncertain, so this preset relies on loud amp gain, feedback, and roomy microphone placement instead of naming an unverified pedal.
