Notes

Studio recording, 2026 Repented re-recording. Lee Malia uses the Quad Cortex for all tones, with amp/cab/effects modeling. Pedalboard switching is handled by RJM Mastermind GT. Most effects and amp tones are digital within the Quad Cortex. Riff section tone is based on a modded Marshall high-gain patch.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting in a low tuning, demanding precise rhythm and muting control. While not technically virtuosic, the speed and tightness required make it moderately challenging.
