Notes

Studio recording, 2015-2016. Confirmed Soldano SLO-100 and Sansamp used for rhythm tracks (Source 14), but solo likely used SLO-100 as main amp. Guitar inferred from artist's gear in this era and visible in studio/live photos. No explicit pedalboard for this solo found.

Difficulty

This solo is considered expert level due to its very high speed, advanced techniques (sweep picking, tapping, legato), and the need for extreme precision and clarity in a technical death metal context.
