Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (album release year). Guitarist Ace is confirmed to have used a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JCM2000 TSL 100 for the riff section of 'Weak'. DOD Carcosa Fuzz pedal is cited as a key part of the distorted tone. No evidence of other guitars or amps for this part. All evidence points to this being the main studio setup for the riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive picking and palm muting to achieve the punchy, percussive sound, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
