Notes

Studio recording, 2001 (All Killer No Filler). No evidence of pedals used for distortion; tone is amp-driven. No evidence of effects loop or additional rack gear. Deryck and Dave both mention using Marshalls and Les Pauls for this era. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific track.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight palm muting and precise picking, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of metal parody/homage songs.
