Notes
Studio recording for 'Down' (1995). Mahoney used his live rig in the studio, specifically the Uberschall for dirty tones. Pedalboard and amp setup matched his live rig of the era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.

The solo requires tight rhythmic precision, fast picking, and clean execution under high-gain conditions, but does not involve advanced shred techniques or extreme technical demands.
