Notes

Studio recording for 'Vermilion' solo, 2003-2004 (Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses sessions). Mick Thomson's rig for the solo included a Maxon OD-820 Overdrive Pro as a boost and an MXR Carbon Copy Delay for the solo section. Settings are estimated based on typical high-gain Marshall usage in metal and Mick's known approach. No evidence of live-specific gear for this section.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced picking and legato technique, tight control for harmonics and feedback, and precise timing to match the delay effect, making it challenging for most players.
