Notes

Studio recording, 2005; JerryC recorded direct using a Line 6 POD XT, not a physical amp. No evidence of live amp use for the original recording. Guitar is an Ibanez RG with HSH pickups. No evidence of additional outboard pedals; all effects likely from POD XT. See also Funtwo's cover for similar setup (ESP + Zoom GFX-8), but this is JerryC's original.
