The lo-fi environment of the studio also helped sculpt the aural identity: thin, trebly and drowned in reverb. Atypical of the close miking recording practices of the day; instrumental parts were recorded at a distance. Dry recordings tend to sit closely at the centre of the mix while effects-laden doublings are panned expansively. This said the precise formula is toyed with from track to track. Feedback is created when two magnetic pickups typically a microphone and speaker feed each other the same signal.
A distinctive application of the effect can be seen at the end of some of their songs; collapse into a cacophonous crash of feedback before fading to silence in an unconventional but mindblowing outro.
The pair most likely performed their material using semi-acoustic Gretsch models that they were fond of. That was the sound. The comments serve as a reminder that unlike their maximalist approach to effects, The Jesus and Mary Chain also achieved the sound of Psychocandy by favouring texture over blistering volume.

However, at least in terms of sheer sonic violence and mayhem, most of the other cuts were pretty hard to beat, as sprawling, amped-up messes like "The Living End" which later inspired both a band and a movie title and "In a Hole.
What the Reids sing about -- entirely interchangeable combinations regarding girls, sex, drugs, speed, and boredom in more or less equal measure -- is nothing compared to the perfectly disaffected way those sentiments are delivered. Bobby Gillespie 's "hit the drums and then hit them again" style makes Moe Tucker seem like Neil Peart , but arguably in terms of sheer economy he doesn't need to do any more.
