Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1990. Gear confirmed for Jerry Cantrell on 'Man In The Box' riff section. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section. Talk Box is used for the vocal-like effect but not on the main riff. Effects chain is minimal for the riff; most effects are reserved for other sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, precise rhythm, and aggressive picking to achieve the signature grunge crunch, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
