Notes

Studio recording, 2008 (Shogun album). Both guitarists tracked rhythm parts; Corey typically used his Jackson King V with Blackouts, Matt used his Epiphone 7-string with Blackouts. Amp was EVH 5150 III, no evidence of Kemper or other amp modelers for this era. Effects loop used for noise gate and possibly EQ. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on riff section.
