20th Century Boy

Description

I’m using a Les Paul electric guitar to play this tune, but any electric guitar will do the trick. Select the bridge pickup for a brighter tone.

As far as amps go, any Marshall style tube amp cranked up for a crunch tone is a desirable choice. Set the Drive to 50%, Bass to 45%, Mid to 55%, Treble to 60%, and Presence to 65%.
Add a fuzz pedal for a thick and crunchy heavy sound.

I used a 10-46 string gage, with a heavy pick so I can dig into these riffs. Add some reverb for depth.

Here are the settings I used:

Marshall Plexi Model:
Drive: 50% Bass: 45% Mid: 55% Treb: 60% Presence: 65%
Big Muff Fuzz
Fuzz: 30% Tone: 45%
Spring Reverb:
WetDryMIX: 30%
