Notes

Studio recording, 1996 (The Great Southern Trendkill). Dimebag Darrell is known to have used the Dean ML with Bill Lawrence and Seymour Duncan pickups and Randall RG100ES for clean and lead tones in this era. No evidence Catatonic used a different rig for the clean outro. Settings are inferred from genre, era, and forum discussions referencing Pantera's 'Floods' outro clean tone.

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive phrasing, careful control of volume and tone for swells, and precise timing to match the ambient delay repeats, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
