Notes

Studio recording, 1990. Dimebag used his Dean ML with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG-100ES solid-state amp. Furman PQ-4 Parametric EQ was used in the rack. No evidence of other pedals or effects for the main riff. Settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit numeric values in sources.
