Notes
Studio recording for 'Rust In Peace' (1990). Dave Mustaine used a Jackson guitar with Seymour Duncan pickups (likely JB in bridge), into a Marshall stack (JCM 800 most probable). No evidence of VHT or Bogner for the riff section. No confirmed pedal use for rhythm/riff section; boost/overdrive pedal possible but not confirmed for studio rhythm. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and amp model.
