Nirvana Tone: 1988 Dorm K208, Evergreen State College

My attempt at replicating Kurt Cobain’s guitar tone from Nirvana’s show on 10/30/88 in Dorm K208 at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. The drop tuning and sludgy Black Sabbath like tone perfectly suits this set of Bleach and Insecticide songs. One of my personal favorite Nirvana shows, I love the the 1987-88 pre-Bleach era.
