Notes
Studio recording, 2004 (Meltdown album). Gear confirmed for Tim Wheeler in this era; specific amp for 'Clones' not directly cited, but Gibson SG and Vox AC30 are widely documented as his main studio setup. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this solo.

Difficulty
The solo requires solid wah pedal technique, fast picking, and precise articulation to achieve the aggressive, singing tone. While not extremely technical, the combination of effects and phrasing puts it above intermediate difficulty.
