Agents of Fortune Dream Clean — Arpeggio & Feedback Solo
Buck Dharma recorded the clean riff with a Gibson ES-175 into a Music Man 410-65, then switched to his modified 1969 SG and drove the same amp harder for the solo. Guitar World publishes the original control settings, including the brighter clean rhythm and power-amp-heavy solo arrangement. Source: Guitar World’s “Secrets Behind the Sound” feature (2019).

Notes
Let the open G string ring through the arpeggio. For the solo, use controlled speaker feedback and keep the delay subtle enough that it only thickens the line.
