Notes
Studio recording, 2002. Both Munky and Head used Ibanez K7 7-strings with DiMarzio PAF 7 pickups into Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifiers. Effects were added via pedals, not amp. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and known rig. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for this section.
