No effects used for this tone

Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (original 'Acquiesce' session, remastered version uses same tracks). No evidence of pedalboard effects on the riff section; amp distortion is primary. Gear confirmed for this era and song by multiple sources, but no explicit pedal use for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast strumming and clean chord changes at a brisk tempo, but uses straightforward barre chords and no advanced techniques.
