Amp: Marshall-style crunch (classic heavy metal) — with an MXR Phase 9

Aria are the "Russian Iron Maiden" — the first Soviet metal band to break mainstream. Vladimir Holstinin plays Strats, Jacksons, Deans and Hamers into a classic Marshall-style high-gain, using an MXR Phase 9 for warm, swooshing, analogue phaser textures. Ulitsa Roz is classic 80s heavy metal — mid-forward, driving, with twin-guitar harmonies and melodic leads.
