Notes

Studio recording, 2002. Pete Loeffler confirmed using his live rig (PRS Custom 24 into Mesa/Boogie Mark IV) for the Wonder What's Next album. No direct evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section. No explicit mention of pedal use for this solo, but Radial Tonebone Plexitube distortion pedal is part of his rig for added gain/texture. No evidence of additional modulation or time-based pedals for this solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, including sustained bends, vibrato, and precise picking under high-gain conditions, but does not involve advanced shred or complex timing.
