      I have been obsessed with the tones and production of this album for many, many moons. I actually bought a '71 VT combo, had to sell it because it was a money pit, and the wrong year. The white switch 76 is the one you want kids. Eventually got the tone I was chasing with a Catlinbread SFT MkII and various EQ & boost pedals. I can pre amp that into IR loaders now and go crazy with it. It's a very rude & gnarly distortion that I had to have after hearing "Tension Head" on Rated R. Very Black Flag-ish.
      Thank you for this video Rick!!!

    Rick, if you want a better understanding of Josh Homme and his guitar sound take a look at his history as a guitar player. I grew up with him in the Palm Springs, Ca area in the early 90s where he helped develop the “Desert Rock” sound. Bands that emerged from this scene were Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Eagles of Death Metal and Brant Bjork to name a few. The sound in general relied heavily on the drone sound of distorted drop c tuned guitars. Josh regularly used an Ampeg amp and cabinet with an Ovation Ultra GP to get his sound starting with Kyuss. Look into the Desert Rock scene in Palm Desert, Ca in the early 90’s.

      I mean...Josh Homme was IN Kyuss and Eagles of Death Metal but I totally get your point. I particularly enjoy the more rough cut, earlier Desert Sessions stuff where you get a feel for the jam/process of pulling some of his stuff together.
      The man is a perennial collaborator and that's likely part of the reason he is constantly learning/evolving.

Familiar, but strangely like hearing it for the first time. I must have heard this tune a thousand times, but never really noticed that bit, in all the chaos of that section.

    One of the most incredible things about this song is that last lick in the solo. I'm pretty sure Josh is playing a crazy 'double-slide' thing that I've never seen anyone do before. Pretty sure it's 14\12 on the high C, into 12/15\12 on the G finishing on 12 on the Eb. That quick transition between the two slides, finishing with the stop makes for some tricky fingering. Give it a go.
