Notes

Studio recording for 'Get Whacked' from 'The Art of Rebellion' (1992). Guitarist: likely Rocky George or Mike Clark. Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier is confirmed as a primary rhythm amp for this era; Jackson Soloist SL2 was the main guitar. No explicit evidence of pedal use for riff tone; focus is on amp distortion.
