Notes

Studio recording, 2015. Guitar and amp choice based on Syu's known rig for 'Under the Force of Courage' album era and visual evidence from 2015 clinics. Pedalboard with Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive and Boss DM-2W Delay confirmed for this period. Pickup model (SH-11) confirmed by video evidence for this song. No evidence of live-specific rig for this solo section.
