Compass Point Open-Chord Engine — Dry Rhythm & SG Lead
The recording was built from the Back in Black album’s live basic-track approach, with Malcolm’s Gretsch rhythm and Angus’s SG recorded through carefully selected Marshall heads and paired condenser microphones. No trustworthy source assigns a specific amp or control layout to this individual song, so the settings are approximated from Tony Platt’s documented session method and the album gear pool.
