Notes

Studio recording, 1998-1999 (Contemporary Movement sessions). No direct evidence for amp model or settings. Pedalboard minimal; confirmed use of Death By Audio Echo Dream 2 by Clay Parton in Duster, but not explicitly tied to this song/era. Univox Hi-Flier confirmed as Canaan Dove Amber's main guitar in this period.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward and slow, but requires careful dynamic control and clarity to achieve the characteristic lo-fi, slightly gritty tone.
