Notes
Studio recording, 1997. Gear inferred from era, genre, and known Snot setups. No direct studio photo evidence for this song, but Les Paul + Dual Rectifier is widely cited for Snot's debut album. Wah pedal is clearly audible on riff sections. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main distorted riff.
