Check out Ronnie’s “Undercover” solo in LA:

Atlantic City:

In LA, his tone is clean and dry. In AC, a pedal has been engaged.
I seem to remember, much later (2005-07, I think), Ronnie about to take a solo on Angie. He looked back as if to signal “Are you guys going to turn that thing on or not?!”
I wonder if, on songs whose arrangements are looser than others, Ronnie’s guys sometimes fall asleep at the switch, so to speak.
