Even Flow
Even Flow is the gnarlier sibling to Black — same black 1962 reissue Strat, same cranked Marshall JCM800, but with more midrange grit and a Dunlop Cry Baby wah parked in the sweet spot for one of grunge's most frantic, Hendrix-indebted solos. The choppy main riff comes from the bridge pickup biting into the JCM800, and the TS-9 still rides in front to keep the lead singing through the chaos.
