Notes

Studio recording, ca. 2003 (Out of the Vein album). Guitar Chalk and forum sources suggest a Gibson SG into a Fender Twin Reverb for core tone, with possible Marshall Plexi/JCM800 for heavier lead layers. Pedalboard evidence from rig rundowns supports use of delay and overdrive for solos. Settings and pedal models are inferred from era, genre, and available pedalboard photos, not from explicit studio documentation.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate phrasing, expressive bends, and control over delay repeats, but does not involve advanced shred techniques or complex timing.
