Notes

Studio recording for 'obZen' (2007-2008). Fredrik Thordendal used the Ibanez M8M 8-string with Lundgren M8 humbuckers, running into a Fractal Audio Axe-Fx Ultra loaded with custom high-gain patches modeled after the Fortin/DAR Forza amp. No evidence of traditional amp heads or cabs; all tones processed and recorded direct via Axe-Fx Ultra. Effects and amp switching automated via MIDI. No evidence of analog pedals in the solo chain; all effects are from the Axe-Fx or DAW.

Difficulty

The solo features extremely technical phrasing, rapid alternate picking, and advanced rhythmic complexity typical of Meshuggah, requiring expert-level technique and timing.
