Notes
Studio recording, 2006. Guitar has built-in ZVex Fuzz Factory but not used for clean section. Clean section is likely bridge or middle pickup, no fuzz, with delay. Amp is Marshall JCM800, as used on the Black Holes and Revelations album. No evidence of Kaoss Pad or synth effects in clean riff section.

The clean riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight timing to sync with the delay repeats, demanding good control and articulation at a brisk tempo.
