Notes
Studio recording, 2003 (album 'The Link'). Christian Andreu and Joe Duplantier both used Gibson SGs and EVH 5150 III amps in this era. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; high-gain amp tone is characteristic. Settings estimated based on amp type, genre, and era due to lack of direct studio documentation.
