Strong, clangy and forward.

Bright and stringy.

Evidence / Sources
Tone character: open, clangy, dry, mid-forward, dynamic, edge-of-breakup, punchy
Targets Malcolm Young's documented underlying rhythm tone, not Angus Young's iconic tapped/alternate-picked intro part. This distinction is intentional and should remain visible in the seed notes.
