Notes

Studio recording, 2025 era. Guitar tone is based on a Peavey 5150 Block Letter amp capture via Neural DSP Quad Cortex. Guitar is likely a Schecter C-8 with Evertune bridge and active pickups. No evidence of additional pedals for the riff section; all gain and EQ from amp/capture. No explicit evidence of live vs studio differences for this song's riff tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise, fast alternate picking and tight palm muting in a low tuning, with syncopated rhythms typical of modern metalcore. While not virtuosic, it demands solid right-hand technique and timing.
