 How to get Steve's sound:
 
 
 If you want to go with the EXACT guitar, use a Gibson Les Paul.  
 effect-wise, use a Big Muff fuzz pedal and a volume pedal, with the 
 chain being guitar ---> volume ---> Big Muff ----> amp.  Be sure to set 
 the "sustain" or gain control on the Muff at a high level, but don't 
 make it too trebly.  get a good swampy reverb sound (my amp is a 
 Fender Twin Reverb, and using my amp's reverb, I'll set it at around 6) 
 and you're all set.
