Notes

Studio recording for 'Magma' (2016). Joe Duplantier is known to use ESP Eclipse guitars with EMG pickups and EVH 5150 III amps in the studio for heavy rhythm tones. Some sources mention Roland JC-120 for clean, but not for the heavy riff. No evidence of pedal use for main riff, high-gain amp tone. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical Gojira studio setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise picking and palm muting at high gain, demanding tight synchronization and stamina typical of modern metal rhythm guitar.
