AM-Era Sabbath Glam — Les Paul Riff & Cornell Fuzz Lead
The song’s tone is a thick, mid-forward *AM*-era sound built from vintage British-style amplifiers, overdrive and fuzz. The album sessions document Turner’s Les Paul, TS808, Cornell First Fuzz and Selmer/Magnatone pairing, but no source conclusively identifies the precise guitar or knob settings used on “Arabella.” Settings approximated from the documented album rig and published tone reconstructions.

Notes
Keep the riff’s low end controlled despite its Black Sabbath influence. The solo should gain saturation and sustain from fuzz, while remaining strongly centred in the midrange.
