Studio recording, 1993. The classic 'chainsaw' tone was achieved by running the guitar into a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal (all knobs maxed), into a Peavey Bandit 112 amp. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical HM-2/Peavey Bandit usage for Swedish death metal.
