No explicit confirmation of exact amp model for this track, but Marshall stacks are visible in studio photos and referenced in interviews. Pedals and effects inferred from typical Mustaine rig and audio analysis.

Difficulty

The riff section requires fast, precise alternate picking and aggressive palm muting at a high tempo, with tight rhythmic accuracy and stamina, making it challenging for most players.
