Notes

Studio recording, 2000 (Hybrid Theory sessions). Brad Delson is confirmed to use PRS Custom 24 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for clean and distorted tones on Hybrid Theory. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean section. No explicit pedalboard evidence for clean tone; effects likely from amp or rack. Pickup selector likely in neck or neck+middle for clean passages.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate chord voicings, precise muting, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted noise, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
