Studio recording, 2011 (El Camino album). Guitar confirmed via Equipboard and live footage; amp model not confirmed in any source for this specific song/section. Pedalboard and effects chain based on Premier Guitar rig rundown and audible fuzz/octave effect in solo.

Difficulty
The solo requires control over a high-gain octave-fuzz pedal, clear articulation despite heavy saturation, and dynamic picking to maintain note definition and sustain. While not technically advanced, the tone and feel are challenging to replicate authentically.
