Notes
Studio recording, album version (2018). No direct source confirming exact guitar/amp for 'Chronos' solo, but forum consensus and genre/era suggest ESP LTD EC-1000 with EMG 81/60 into Peavey 6505/5150, with Tube Screamer-style boost. No evidence of other effects or alternate gear for the solo.
