Glitch-Octave Iron Lung — Whammy Chime & ShredMaster Collapse
Greenwood created the main riff with a Telecaster Plus in the unusual EGDGBEb tuning through a DigiTech Whammy WH-1 set to add an octave above the clean guitar. The heavier sections switch to his Marshall ShredMaster and Fender Eighty-Five distortion path, while Ed O'Brien adds sustained EBow texture. Exact knob positions are approximated from the documented equipment. Source: Guitar World and The King of Gear's My Iron Lung documentation.

Notes
Use the Whammy's older or classic tracking mode so the shifted chords warble and glitch. Do not run the main clean riff through the ShredMaster.
