Notes

Studio recording, 2018-2019 era. Polyphia used Neural DSP Quad Cortex for amp and effects modeling, with Tim Henson's signature Ibanez TOD10 and Fishman Fluence pickups. No evidence of traditional pedals; all effects likely in Quad Cortex or plugin. Some live use of Marshall JCM800 as power amp, but studio is digital/modeler-based.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced picking techniques, rapid note changes, and precise muting, making it highly challenging for most guitarists.
