Notes

Studio recording, 2022-2023 for the album 'Six'; Nuno confirms same JCM2000 DSL head used for the entire album, including the 'Rise' solo. Settings described as 'crazy' with most EQ nearly off. Octave pedal faintly used in solo. Phase 90 possibly used lightly. No mention of additional pedals or rack effects for this section.

Difficulty

The 'Rise' solo is widely regarded as one of the most technically demanding modern rock solos, requiring expert-level speed, hybrid picking, tapping, and dynamic phrasing, as well as precise control of effects.
