Notes

Studio recording, 2020-2021. Gear confirmed for album sessions, not just live. Jext TELEZ Range Van Lord boost pedal used for heavy riff sections. No evidence of additional drive/distortion pedals for the riff. Effects chain is minimal for riff section; focus is on amp and boost pedal. No evidence of modulation or delay in riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight picking, precise palm muting, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and punch at high volume. The tempo and articulation demand advanced rhythm technique.
