Notes

Studio recording, 1988; Chuck Schuldiner used a B.C. Rich Stealth with a DiMarzio X2N pickup into a Marshall Valvestate 8100 for the Leprosy album, including 'Pull the Plug'. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the solo section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and forum references to Death's tone.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level technique with fast alternate picking, tight palm muting, and quick position changes, but does not involve advanced shred techniques or complex timing.
