Studio recording, 2000 era (Chocolate Starfish sessions); Wes Borland used Ibanez RG7 and PRS CE 24 for this album. Mesa Dual Rectifier was a staple of his rig. Settings and pedal use are based on studio context, not live.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced pedal coordination (wah, Whammy, delay), tight palm muting, and rhythmic precision, but does not involve extreme speed or advanced shred techniques.
