Notes
Studio recording, 2016 (Dig Deep album). The Kemper was used to profile the Orange Dual Dark 100, which was the core tone for the album. Fishman Fluence pickups confirmed for this era. No explicit pedalboard evidence for the riff section; effects inferred from genre and audio.

Difficulty
The riff requires advanced right-hand technique for tight, fast palm-muted chugs, precise left-hand muting to control noise on an 8-string, and mastery of syncopated, polyrhythmic patterns typical of modern djent/tech metal.
