Notes

Studio recording, 2008-2009 (album: Shaka Rock). No direct evidence for pedals or amp model for this song, but Jet's main guitarist Cam Muncey is known for using a Gibson SG into a Marshall JCM800 for their signature riff tones. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific riff section.
