Electric Worry
Clutch's swampy, swaggering anthem from 2007's From Beale Street to Oblivion, cut with Joe Barresi at Sound City. Tim Sult's tone is a masterclass in restraint: a Gibson SG straight into a cranked vintage Marshall JMP and a 1960 cab with V30s -- mid-forward, raw, and built almost entirely on open strings. No fuzz, no octave tricks on the riff, just guitar into amp. Standard E (confirmed by Sult himself).
From Beale Street to Oblivion
What we checked
Computed by a program, on this recipe, every time this page is built. How this works
Preset files — 0 of 3 complete
- Helix 1 block missing from the file
Which ones
Not in the file: Brit Plexi. The recipe calls for this block, but we have no verified model ID for it on this platform, so the preset is written without it. Add it by hand using the settings above.
- Quad Cortex 2 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Replaced with a stand-in: Studio Comp, Brit Plexi 100. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
- Katana 3 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Replaced with a stand-in: Crunch, Booster, Reverb. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
What we didn't check
- Nobody played this through a real amp. There is no human listening test behind any number on this page.
- The settings are reasoned from the sources below, not measured off the record.
- No audio has been rendered for this recipe yet, so you cannot hear it before you load it.
- 3 platforms on this page (TONEX, Kemper, Fractal) get a model pointer, not a preset file — nothing was built or checked for them.
