Notes
Studio recording, 2016-2017 era. Gear confirmed for Silica Gel's signature tones, but not explicitly tied to 'NO PAIN' riff in sources. Pedal and amp choices inferred from band’s typical studio setup and genre conventions.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated rhythm, dynamic control for clean articulation, and the need to coordinate delay and modulation effects for the signature ambient texture.
