Notes

Studio recording for 'Disarm the Descent' (2012-2013). Joel Stroetzel and Adam Dutkiewicz both tracked rhythm parts, but Joel is primary for riff. Caparison Dellinger with Seymour Duncan JB in bridge, Peavey 5150 head through Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cab. Maxon OD808 or Maxon OD-9 used as boost. Noise gate (Boss NS-2) always on. No time-based or modulation effects on riff. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit numbers.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting to maintain clarity and aggression at high gain, with syncopated rhythms demanding precise timing.
