Notes

Studio recording for Korn's debut album (1994). Guitarists Munky and Head both used Ibanez Universe 7-strings with DiMarzio Blaze pickups. Clean sections likely used the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier on a clean channel, as confirmed by multiple sources for the album era. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the clean intro/riff.

Difficulty

The clean riff is rhythmically simple but requires tight palm muting and clean picking, especially on a 7-string guitar in a low tuning.
