My Own Summer (Shove It)
The dark, swinging anchor riff of Around the Fur. Stephen Carpenter played it on a custom ESP Horizon — a 6-string, not a 7-string, loaded with Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers (this is pre-EMG Carpenter) — tuned to Drop C#. The core grind is an ADA MP-1 rack preamp into a Marshall 9200 power amp, with a Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz adding the gritty upper-octave bite. Producer Terry Date kept it dry and percussive so the detuned chug stays articulate. Drop C#: C#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#.
