Studio recording, 2016 release. Plini is confirmed to use his signature .strandberg* Boden Prog Plini Edition with Suhr pickups for this era and song. The Archetype: Plini plugin is modeled after his studio tones and is widely cited as the source for both live and studio tones post-2019, but for the original recording, the Axe-FX II was likely used with similar amp/cab/effects blocks. No evidence of analog pedals in the studio chain for this solo; all effects likely in-the-box.
