Studio recording, 2009. Guitar used is the 'Monkey' SG with custom pickups. Amp is a modded Marshall 1959 Super Lead, not the Laney Supergroup. Effects chain includes chorus, delay, and wah per Iommi interview, but no specific pedal models confirmed for this song. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and amp type.
