Waiting for the End - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - D A D G B E (Slightly distorted w/delay, reverb, and octave up effect) Guitar 2 - D A D G B E (Distorted w/guitar synth, octave splitting effect, and pitch shifter) Guitar 3 - D A D G B E (Distorted w/slight delay) Guitar 4 - D A D G B E (Distorted w/slight delay) *Note* Guitars 1, 3, and 4 are humbucker-equipped (likely PRS Custom 24's for Guitars 3 and 4, and possibly a PRS Singlecut for Guitar 1). Guitar 2 is a Gibson Les Paul Junior doublecut model with a single P-90 pickup. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. Guitar 1 plays the synth pad-like parts that come in right before Chester's first vocal part, and continue throughout the rest of the song. The effects used for Guitar 1 include a Boss DD-7 delay (set to a relatively short delay, but not quite a slapback), an Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail reverb, and an Electro-Harmonix HOG set to an octave up (the dry signal is also still audible if you listen VERY closely, so if you have an octave effect that lets you blend the dry signal with the wet signal, set it to about 80% wet, 20% dry). The amount of distortion on Guitar 1 is actually pretty small, as the heavy delay and reverb create enough sustain as it is, and the distortion would only introduce more noise. Guitar 2 plays the synth-like solo, and continues quietly under the outro as well. Guitar 2 is actually a vintage doublecut Les Paul Junior (probably the only case of a guitar with P-90 pickups making an appearance on a Linkin Park song!), and it relies heavily on the Electro-Harmonix HOG as well: This time it's set to an octave splitting effect that doubles the original pitch an octave down (the octave down notes are also louder than the dry notes, but it's more of an even blend than it is with Guitar 1). While Brad recorded the guitar part, Mike sat next to him with the HOG pedal and rhythmically turned the "Exp. Button" switch on and off (with the mode set to the "octave bend" setting). When the switch is on, the pitch of the guitar is raised by an octave, kind of like what you would achieve with a Digitech Whammy. I've used an "FX" notation under the staff to mark when the effect is on and off, similar to how I do palm-muting notations. Guitars 3 and 4 are double-tracked and appear in the last chorus.
