Notes

Settings and gear inferred for the studio recording of the 1998 album version, solo section. No direct source confirms exact amp/pedal model for this song, but live and cover videos, era, and genre strongly indicate Les Paul + Marshall stack. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.
