Notes
Studio recording, 2022. The riff section uses the Ibanez TOD10 with Fishman Fluence pickups into the Neural DSP Archetype: Tim Henson plugin. No evidence of traditional amp/cab; all sources and user discussions point to plugin-based tones for the album. No evidence of live amp use for the studio recording.
