Original Recording
Studio recording, In Utero sessions (1993). Guitar is a 1971 Fender Mustang, almost certainly using the bridge pickup (Seymour Duncan JB Jr.). Amp is Randall solid-state head, as confirmed by Steve Albini and Equipboard. Effects include Univox Square Wave fuzz pedal, which is specifically cited for this song's riff. No evidence of modulation or time-based effects in the riff section. Settings are estimated based on amp type, genre, and era due to lack of explicit numbers.
