Notes

Studio recording, 1993. Gear confirmed for Pork Soda album sessions. JCM900 was Larry's main amp for this era; Les Paul Standard is his primary studio guitar for heavy riff sections. No evidence of alternate guitars for this riff. Settings estimated based on typical JCM900 usage for Primus in studio. No evidence of live-specific gear for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate to advanced control of timing and dynamics to maintain clarity through fuzz and phaser effects, with some technical challenge in keeping the riff tight and percussive.
