This is the isolated guitar track from “Cherub Rock,” the first track from Smashing Pumpkins’ second album Siamese Dream, one of the best albums in the history of ever.
For the nerdier amongst you, this sound was created by playing a Fender Stratocaster equipped with Lace Sensor pick-ups into a late 70s v.4 op-amp Big Muff Pi into a 100w Marshall JCM 800 running off KT88 tubes. Oh, and layering that combination many, many times under the sharp eye of Butch Vig.
To me, this is the perfect combination of abrasive fuzz and beautiful, melodic playing. Billy Corgan may be known more for being crazy, prejudiced jerk these days, but before he went absolutely bat shit insane he was one of the greats.
this is a sick artifact right here. the solo is all big muff running in front of a micro-synth. or behind i can’t remember. but it rips. the vibes are pure.
