Notes

Studio recording, 2005. Gear inferred from Equipboard and era-typical setups. No direct confirmation of exact pickup model for this song, but Fishman Fluence and EMG are both associated with the band. Maxon OD808 Overdrive often used as boost. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era.
