Equipboard lists Fulltone Full-Drive2 Mosfet and Fulltone GT-500 Booster/Distortion as effects associated with Animotion, but does not tie them to this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, consistent picking and rhythmic accuracy to lock in with the synths and drums, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead playing.
