Notes

Studio recording, 1988. Gear inferred from era, interviews, and known Cacophony studio setups. No direct evidence of pedals or alternate amps for this specific solo; Carvin DC200 with M22 humbuckers and Marshall JCM800 are confirmed for Cacophony's 'Go Off!' album sessions.

Difficulty

This solo is considered expert-level due to its high speed, advanced shred techniques (sweep picking, legato, tapping), and the need for precise articulation and stamina throughout.
