notes
The acid lead line on "Overdrive" (Overdrive EP) is an overdriven, distorted acid lead line. Built from 1 square -1 + 1 saw -1, pushed through a lp 24 db/oct, tb-303-style resonant sweep filter around 1597 Hz with 0.79 resonance, then left clean for grit and glued into the mix with 1/8 dotted delay + short plate reverb, filtered dark so it sits under the kick.
