Notes
Studio recording, 1988. Rhythm guitar for 'To Live Is to Die' riff section. Layered tracks with Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC++ as the core amp, likely with Aphex EQF-2 EQs and Aphex CX-1 Compressor/Expander in effects loop. Marshall JCM800 and other amps possibly used for overdubs, but Mark IIC++ is primary for rhythm. No evidence of pedal use for rhythm section; distortion from amp. Album: ...And Justice for All.
