Notes

Studio recording for 'Homesick' album (2009). Neil Westfall confirmed use of EVH 5150 III and ESP LTD EC-401B with EMG pickups for this era. Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer used as a boost in front of the amp. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. Settings estimated based on typical 5150 III usage for modern metalcore rhythm tones. No evidence of built-in amp effects used.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise, fast alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythm patterns that demand strong right-hand control and timing.
