By the Way Dynamic Split — Percussive Clean & DS-2 Chorus
The title track contrasts a tightly muted clean verse with a much broader distorted chorus. Frusciante’s album-era setup centred on his 1962 Stratocaster and large Marshall Major/Super Bass-family amplifiers, but the precise guitar, pedal and control assignments for this individual track are not fully documented, so the DS-2 chorus settings are a conservative reconstruction.
