The Story

Dave Navarro used an Ovation Adamas acoustic guitar processed through a Roland Dimension D chorus unit for the rhythm guitar on "Jane Says." The track was recorded at RCA Recording Studios in Los Angeles. The distinctive shimmery, spacious quality comes directly from the Dimension D's chorus effect applied to the bright, clear sound of the Ovation's composite bowl back design.

Production Credits

Producer: Perry Farrell

Engineer: Unknown

Recorded at: RCA Recording Studios (Los Angeles, CA)
