Notes
Studio recording, 2020-2021. Gear confirmed for album sessions, not live. Jext Telez Fuzz Face-style pedal used for solo. No evidence of other pedals or effects except fuzz. No explicit amp settings found; estimated based on era, genre, and typical Marshall Plexi usage for classic rock solos.
