Studio recording, 1999-2000. Dimebag Darrell used his signature Dean ML with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG100ES amp. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio version. Effects and EQ pedals were used in the studio chain. Settings and effects are based on studio-era sources and typical Dimebag rig for 'Reinventing the Steel'.
