Notes
Live performance at Red Rocks, 2016+ era. Guitar is Dan Donegan's signature Schecter with EMG active pickups. Amp is Egnater Armageddon, possibly blended with Bogner and Kemper via FOH. Effects primarily handled via Fractal or rack, but core tone is amp-driven. No evidence of additional drive/distortion pedals for riff section.
