Notes

Studio recording, 2000 (album release year). Gear confirmed for Boris in this era, but specific amp for riff section inferred from genre and band interviews. Wata and Takeshi both used multiple amps and pedal chains; Sunn Model T is most associated with their heavy, drone/doom tones. No explicit studio-only pedalboard photo for 'Flood' found.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to the need for controlling feedback, sustaining notes with effects, and managing thick, layered textures at high volume.
