Bullet With Butterfly Wings
The world is a vampire — and the detonating chorus is a Fender Blender, not a Big Muff. Corgan named the pedal and the song together: 'at about two-and-a-half minutes there's a part where the key changes and it comes in all loud and thick.' Built on the Mellon Collie rig — a KT88-loaded JCM800 through a Mesa Strategy 500 power amp into a Marshall 4x12 — Bullet pairs hushed clean verses against that blown-out octave-fuzz chorus, all in Eb standard.
