Notes
Studio recording, 2007. No direct evidence of exact amp model or pedals used on the original studio recording. Most covers use modern high-gain amp sims or Peavey/Engl-style amps. Guitar and pickup model confirmed from cover videos using 7-string Ibanez with EMG 808X, matching the genre and era.
