Notes
Studio recording for 'One-X' album (2006). Barry Stock used Ibanez SZ320 BK and Diezel VH4 for the main riff/distorted sections. Settings and gear confirmed for studio use, not live. No evidence of additional pedals or effects used for the riff section; distortion is primarily from the amp.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically tight and requires aggressive palm muting and precise power chord transitions, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead work.
