Notes & Caveats
- Exact amp settings are estimated based on typical settings for the Marshall JCM800 2203 in a high-gain metal context.
- Specific pedal models and settings are inferred from Zakk Wylde's known gear and the song's tone characteristics.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Zakk Wylde, the guitarist on this track, is known for his high-gain, aggressive metal tones with a tight low end and slightly scooped mids to cut through the mix. The era's production favored a dry, punchy sound with minimal reverb.
