Notes

Studio recording for 'All the Same' (2006). Shimon Moore used a Gibson ES-335 into a Marshall JCM800 2203 head through Marshall 4x12 cabs. Pedalboard included Boss OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion, Boss TU-3 tuner, Boss NS-2 noise suppressor, and possibly a boost pedal. No evidence of modulation or time-based effects in the riff section. All evidence points to a straightforward high-gain rock setup with minimal effects.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and consistent, aggressive pick attack, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of post-grunge/alt-rock.
