Notes

Studio recording, 1997 album era. Kryz Reid's main distorted tone for solos used the Marshall Plexi head through a Mesa 4x12 cab. Guitar is confirmed as a Gibson ES-335 for this era and song. Effects and pedal order confirmed by Premier Guitar and YouTube rig rundown. Settings estimated based on typical Marshall Plexi usage for modern rock and available rig details.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced control of expressive techniques (wah, bends, vibrato), fast melodic lines, and dynamic picking, but does not reach shred-level technicality.
