Notes

Studio recording, 1989 (Beneath the Remains). Gear inferred from era, interviews, and forum consensus. No direct studio documentation for this song, but multiple sources confirm JCM800 and Jackson Rhoads for riff sections. No evidence of pedal use for distortion; amp likely cranked. No evidence of modulation or time-based effects on riff. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era.
