Notes

Studio recording, 1988; Chuck Schuldiner used a B.C. Rich Stealth with a DiMarzio X2N in the bridge into a Randall RG100ES for the 'Leprosy' album, which includes 'Pull the Plug'. No evidence of additional pedals or effects in the riff section; distortion is from amp. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and amp model.

Difficulty
