Notes
Studio recording, 2023. The riff section is primarily DI through a Tascam Porta 424 tape preamp, with additional processing from the Neural DSP plugin for pitch transposing. No evidence of a traditional amp or cab; the tone is shaped by the cassette preamp and plugins. Guitar is in E standard, transposed digitally.

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking and precise muting to achieve the percussive, articulate sound, as well as sensitivity to the modulation and DI tone nuances.
