Notes

Studio recording, 2000-2001 era. Multiple sources confirm Wes Borland used a Roland JC-120 for clean tones on 'Boiler' riff. Some live setups may differ, but this is for the studio recording.

The riff requires clean playing with wide chord stretches and precise timing to maintain the atmospheric, haunting vibe. Effects are subtle but integral to the tone.
