Notes

Studio recording, 1998. Guitar and amp inferred from era, genre, and known Wayne Static gear for the 'Wisconsin Death Trip' album sessions. No direct source confirms exact pedal or amp model for 'Push It' riff, but ESP 7-string with EMG pickups and Marshall high-gain amp are widely cited for Static-X's early sound.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting at a fast tempo with precise rhythm and muting control, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
