Notes

Studio recording, 2006; no direct source confirms exact guitar/amp for this song, but EC-1000 with EMGs and Peavey 5150/6505 is the consensus for early BMTH rhythm tones. No evidence of pedals or effects beyond high-gain amp. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical BMTH studio rig.
