Notes
Studio recording, 2008-2009 (The Black Parade is Dead!/Desolation Row single era). Ray Toro is confirmed to use the Les Paul Standard and Marshall JCM800 for heavy/distorted tones in this period. Some sources mention other amps (Crate BV300H, Hiwatt), but JCM800 is most consistently cited for MCR's signature heavy sound. Pickup likely bridge humbucker for solo. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this solo.
