Notes
Studio recording, 1999. Wes Borland used an Ibanez 7-string into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for the main riff. No evidence of additional pedals for the main riff. No chorus, flanger, or time-based effects audible or cited for this section.
Tone Character(9)
tight and percussiveaggressive palm mutingscooped midrangedry, immediate attackchunky, detuned power chordsmodern, saturated distortionarticulate under high gainclear note separationno audible reverb or ambience
Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight palm muting, precise timing, and control over noise with high-gain settings. No advanced techniques, but maintaining the aggressive, percussive feel is essential.
