Notes

Studio recording for 'Shadow Moses' (2012/2013). Lee Malia used his Epiphone signature Les Paul with a Marshall JCM800 and a Klon Centaur overdrive for the core tone. Pedal settings were 'all just level and no gain added', amp run 'super loud'. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the solo section. Settings are estimated based on typical JCM800 metal usage and forum suggestions. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires tight alternate picking and palm muting at a fast tempo, with some string skipping and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques like sweep picking or tapping.
