How to get the Peg guitar tone
Steely Dan
Mid-gain crunch that sits somewhere between a bar fight and a lullaby — crunchy enough to bite but controlled enough to sing. Heavy low-end warmth that makes even single-note lines feel physical. You feel this one before you hear it. Layer in light chorus and hall reverb and the whole thing takes on a dimension you can't get from the amp alone.
