Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (Train of Thought album). Guitar was Ernie Ball Music Man JP6 with DiMarzio Steve's Special (bridge) and Air Norton (neck) pickups. Amp was Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. Petrucci is known to use delay in solos. Settings from Guitar World are general for Petrucci's lead tone, not song-specific but era-appropriate.
