Notes
Studio recording, 2022-2023 era. Gear inferred from band’s typical studio setup for 'The Jaws of Life' album cycle and prior confirmed use on previous albums. No direct evidence for this exact song/section, but no evidence of a different setup. Clean section likely uses amp clean channel with pedals for additional effects.
