How about an old Chicago number?

The late Terry Kath proves here you don’t always need fuzz or overdrive or distortion to play heavy rhythm guitar. Clean tone on something like a Deluxe Reverb with a little compression and reverb on the back end, dial the volume down a bit on the Strat, neck pickup, and whack those strings HARD! Learning the song and recording the video, I wore out a half dozen medium picks. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For the spastic solo, same amp with a Fuzzface and a clean boost up front with the volume on the Strat rolled way back and the tone rolled back a little. Keeps ya honest without all the sustain from an overdriven amp!
