Notes
Studio recording, 1999. Guitar and amp choice inferred from era, interviews, and genre. No evidence of pedals or effects in the riff section; all distortion from amp. C# Standard tuning confirmed for 'Break Stuff' on Significant Other. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for studio recording.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight palm muting and aggressive attack for the correct feel. The use of a 7-string in C# Standard may be unfamiliar to some players, but the technical demands are otherwise moderate.
