The Smashing Pumpkins Slunk Off Lull (1992) and Earphoria (2002) Written by Billy Corgan Tabbed by Jimi Jackson For one live version of this song on Japanese TV (released on Earphoria) Billy Corgan and James play this song with a Fender Gender Pedal (the same pedal which was used for the studio-version Interlude in Bullet with butterfly wings), "the sickest distortion Pedal in the world", how Billy used to say. On the Solos Billy used a wha-wha pedal.
