Notes
Studio recording, 1987. Gear inferred from era, interviews, and genre. No direct source confirms exact pedal or amp model for this song, but JCM800 and Hamer/DiMarzio were Ronni Le Tekrø's main studio setup for 'Tell No Tales' album. No evidence of pedals for riff section; likely straight into amp.
