Notes
Studio recording for 'GLOW ON' (2021); rhythm guitar tone achieved by blending Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier and a 5150, but Dual Rectifier is primary for Pat McCrory's main riff tone. No direct evidence of pedals in studio for riff, chorus pedal seen live but not confirmed for this track in studio.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically tight and requires fast, consistent down-picking and palm muting, but uses straightforward power chords and does not involve advanced techniques.
