Studio recording, 2006 (from 'ELEVEN FIRE CRACKERS' album). No direct evidence of amp model or pedals used on the studio recording. Guitar confirmed as ES-355 for Shinichi Ubukata, who plays most main riffs. No explicit pedalboard or amp photo for this song/era.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking and tight palm muting for clarity, with quick chord transitions typical of punk rock. While not technically advanced, the tempo and precision demand solid intermediate skills.
