Victim of Changes
Victim of Changes is the twin-guitar cornerstone of Sad Wings of Destiny -- K.K. Downing's red Gibson Flying V and Glenn Tipton's SG Special traded through cranked, non-master-volume Marshall Super Leads with a Dallas Rangemaster treble booster searing the front end. There is no preamp gain here: everything comes from EL34 power tubes pushed flat out, bright and raw, the way British metal was built in 1975.
