Notes

Studio recording, 1993-1994. Gear inferred from era, interviews, and typical band setup. No direct studio documentation for this song, but Erlandson is widely documented using a Stratocaster into a Marshall JCM800 for the album. No evidence of pedal use in riff section. Pickup selector in middle position per forum user for this song.
