Notes

Studio recording, 1996 (October Rust sessions). Kenny Hickey used the Fernandes Raven Elite Sustainer with the bridge humbucker for rhythm/riff parts. The amp setup was a Mesa/Boogie TriAxis preamp into a Mesa/Boogie Simul-Class 2:Ninety power amp, likely into Mesa 4x12 cabinets. Effects were added via pedals and rack units, not amp built-ins.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to the low baritone tuning, tight palm muting, and the need to maintain clarity and precision with a heavily distorted, scooped-mids tone.
