Studio recording for 'Invasion of Your Privacy' (1985). Warren DeMartini used a Charvel San Dimas with a Seymour Duncan RTM humbucker into a Marshall JCM800. Effects were minimal for the riff section; overdrive pedal (Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive) may have been used for added grit. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on the main riff. Settings estimated based on typical 1980s glam metal studio practice and DeMartini's known rig for this album.
