Notes
Studio recording for 'Die Dead Enough' (2004, 2019 remaster). Mustaine used his signature Dean VMNT with Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor pickups and a Marshall JVM410H head. Effects and settings are based on studio-era rig rundowns and direct amp setting recommendations for Megadeth solos in this era.
