Notes

Studio recording, 2001. Sources indicate Marshall JMP was profiled for main tones, with minimal effects and focus on amp gain. Some sources mention Line 6 POD Pro was tried, but main album tones are Marshall JMP. No evidence of pedals for riff section; effects kept to a minimum. Pickup likely bridge for main riff. No evidence of amp reverb or other amp effects used for the riff.
