On the original recording, Adam used a simple sine wave, which is the purest tone since it doesn't contain harmonics. As a result, I decided to keep this extremely simple. I used the neck pickup on my guitar and went from my audio interface into GarageBand. I didn't use any amp simulators. All I did was add a PlatinumVerb with a reverb time of 3 seconds and a tape delay where the delay was set to a quarter note (based on a song tempo of 178 BPM). Lots of people cover this intro using distortion and things like tapping. I just wanted to do a simple version using a clean tone to capture the atmosphere of the song. Hope this helps!
