Tone Character
Recorded tone character
Gain character
Smooth, sustained lead gain, with much of the saturation supplied by the Big Muff rather than the Hiwatt itself.
Bass
Full but controlled.
Mids
Slightly restrained through the amp, with the fuzz and guitar voice creating the vocal mid character.
Treble
Balanced and smooth rather than sharp.
Brightness / presence
Present and airy enough for definition, without harshness.
Compression
Strong sustain and compression from the fuzz/comp chain while retaining expressive pick response.
Effects
Ram's Head-style Big Muff, MXR Dyna Comp, Hiwatt/WEM path plus Yamaha RA-200 rotating speaker; delay/space is part of the finished sound.
Evidence / Sources
Tone character: smooth, sustaining, vocal, spacious, compressed, expressive, harmonically rich, slightly dark
This seed represents the iconic outro solo. Guitar World documents the Hiwatt EQ reference as Bass 6, Middle 4, Treble 5 and Presence 6; canonical Gain is an estimate because the pedal chain supplies much of the drive.
