Notes
Studio recording, 1991-1992. Yngwie is known to use his signature Strat with DiMarzio HS-3 in the bridge for rhythm/riffing. Amp is likely a Marshall Plexi or Lead 100 Mosfet, as used on Fire & Ice era. DOD 250 Overdrive Preamp is almost always on for his core tone. No rack effects for this album per Yngwie's own statements. No chorus, delay, or reverb audible on the riff section—very dry, direct, high-gain rhythm sound.
