Why it sounds like that

Stephen Carpenter recorded Around the Fur, the album My Own Summer (Shove It) comes from, with his ESP signature model fitted with Seymour Duncan JB pickups. His amps were an ADA MP-1 preamp driving a Marshall 9200 power amp, and his effects included a Rocktron Intellifex and a Hyper Fuzz pedal. Producer Terry Date suggested a lower, bass-heavy sound for the record. The song itself was born in Seattle, written in the studio rather than before the sessions.
