Studio recording, 1995-1996. The only confirmed pedal is the Boss HM-2 for distortion. No direct evidence for exact guitar or amp model used on the album. All settings and gear are inferred from genre, era, and the confirmed use of the HM-2 pedal. No evidence of additional pedals or amp-based effects.
