One thing to stress about this track is that there is NO (none) compression on this recording at all and as such is a perfect example of how the amplifiers in the Awesome Channel Amp naturally compress, exactly the way one would expect an early 1970’s circuit to do. The drum sound on this track has a whole lot to say on this subject.
