White Album California Crunch — Restored Mark I Clean-to-Drive
Producer Jake Sinclair sourced a 1977 Mesa/Boogie Mark I described as identical to the type used on the Blue Album, helping the White Album recover the band’s classic direct, mid-forward distortion. No public song-specific knob sheet or guitar assignment exists, so the clean verse and driven chorus below are approximated from that documented album rig.
