Notes
Studio recording, 2017. Architects are known to use Kemper Profilers in the studio for 'Doomsday'; clean sections likely use a clean amp profile. No direct evidence of pedals for clean, but chorus and reverb are clearly audible. Guitar is a 7-string baritone ESP E-II Horizon NT-7B with EMG active pickups.

Difficulty
The clean riff requires accurate picking and muting on a 7-string baritone, but is not technically complex; the main challenge is clarity and timing.
