Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (Genexus album). Dino Cazares is known for using Ibanez 7-strings with EMG 707s and Peavey 5150/6505+ amps for heavy rhythm tones on this era. No direct source confirms exact pedal/amp model for 'Dielectric', but this is consistent with all available interviews and Fear Factory's documented studio setups.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, fast alternate picking, and machine-like rhythmic precision typical of Fear Factory's style. Maintaining tightness and clarity at high speed is challenging, especially with 7-string guitars and high-gain settings.
