Notes

Studio recording, 2014-2015, as used on 'Hyperview' album. Guitarist Ned Russin confirmed to use Fender Bass VI for 'Mrahc' riff in live and studio. Marshall JCM800 2203 confirmed as main amp for Jamie Rhoden and likely used for main distorted rhythm. No evidence of additional drive pedals; distortion is amp-based. Effects inferred from audio and forum consensus.

Difficulty

The riff is accessible for intermediate players due to its moderate tempo and straightforward chord shapes, but requires careful timing and control to maintain clarity with heavy modulation and effects.
