Adam doesn't use clean channels EVER. He always has his amps running a heavy
crunch, to get any clean tones he rolls his volume down on his bridge pickup
and picks lightly. Similarly, he brings his guitar volume back up to bring in distortion.
Effects: delay, and mxr micro amp for boosting the level of certain parts.
delay, volume rolled down.

don't roll volume down, just pick lightly. Theres a second guitar tracked on
half way through but I'll just tab what he does live.
