Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (Shadow Zone album). Gear is inferred from era, interviews, and forum discussions. No direct pedalboard or amp photo for 'Control It' session, but MG series and EMG 81-7 are widely cited for this era. No evidence of pedals in the riff section; tone is achieved via amp gain and active pickups.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting at a fast tempo with precise rhythm, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
