Notes

Studio recording for 'Blinded' (2019, Shaped by Fire album). Gear confirmed for this era and album by multiple sources. Maxon OD808 used as boost in front of amp. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in riff section; tone is dry and tight for rhythm. Pickup choice inferred from genre and artist's typical setup for rhythm parts.
