Notes

Studio recording, 2007-2008 era. Guitarist Josh Farro used the '72 Telecaster Deluxe for the clean sections of 'Decode' in the studio. The amp is confirmed from period interviews and live photos, but exact pedal models for the clean solo are not confirmed. Settings are estimated based on typical Orange clean tone for this genre and era. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for the studio clean solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level clean technique, careful timing to match delay repeats, and dynamic control to maintain articulation and clarity.
