Notes

Studio recording, 2003. Brad Delson is known to layer Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier and Peavey 5150 amps for thick, saturated distortion on Meteora. PRS CE 24 is confirmed for live and likely studio use on 'Faint' solo. Tube Screamer and Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor are cited as pedals in the chain. Settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era, as no explicit studio knob values for the solo are published.

Difficulty

The solo requires tight, fast alternate picking and precise palm muting at a high tempo, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex phrasing.
