Notes

Studio recording for 'Family System' (2002, Wonder What's Next album). Pete Loeffler used a PRS Custom 24 with stock pickups and a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV head into Mesa 4x12s. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Effects chain based on era-correct pedalboard and forum discussions.

Difficulty

The main riff requires tight, percussive palm muting and precise timing, with moderate technical challenge due to the speed and articulation needed for the aggressive alt-metal style.
