Studio recording, 2000-2001 (Mutter album sessions). Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe both used ESP guitars with active EMG pickups and Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier amps for the riff sections. No confirmed pedal use for the main riff in studio; tone is achieved primarily through amp and guitar. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Rectifier usage for Rammstein's studio sound.
