Notes

Studio recording, 2004. Both Mark Morton and Willie Adler tracked rhythm guitars for the riff section. Mark Morton is known to use his Jackson Dominion with Seymour Duncan passive pickups, while Willie Adler uses ESP Eclipse with EMG active pickups. Mesa/Boogie Mark IV amps were used in the studio for this album. No evidence of pedals or effects other than a possible noise gate for tightness. Settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era as no explicit numbers are found in sources.
