Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (Nothing album era). Guitar and amp confirmed for this era and song by multiple sources. Horizon Devices Precision Drive or similar boost/overdrive pedal likely used in front of amp for tightness. No evidence of time-based or modulation pedals in riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and amp type due to lack of explicit numbers for this song.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced rhythmic precision, tight palm muting, and fast picking on extended range guitars, making it very challenging for most players.
