Notes

Studio recording for 'Primal Concrete Sledge' (1990, Cowboys from Hell). Guitar confirmed from live and studio footage; amp confirmed from Dimebag interviews and Cowboys from Hell session details. Furman PQ-3 parametric EQ and MXR 6-band EQ used in front of amp for tone shaping. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and Dimebag's typical rig for this album.
