Notes

Studio recording for 'The Lever' (Diorama, 2002); Soldano SLO-100 is confirmed for Diorama era heavy tones. Pedalboard included Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer and Pro Co RAT 2 for distortion/fuzz layering. Settings below are from Soldano pedal user referencing Silverchair tone, likely close to studio SLO-100 settings. Pickup and guitar inferred from era, photos, and typical Daniel Johns setup for Diorama. No evidence of single-coil or alternate guitars for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, precise rhythm, and clarity despite heavy distortion and layered fuzz, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
