Why it sounds like that
Soul To Squeeze came out of the Blood Sugar Sex Magik sessions but never made that album. Flea favoured a Wal Mach II for almost every track on that record, which gave his playing a punchy midrange tone. For the recording he used his massive live rig, Gallien-Kruger heads with Mesa-Boogie cabinets, for a huge, booming sound.
