  1. Vox Wah wah
    Rocked through the intro — the wah IS the riff
  2. Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face fuzz
    Fuzz 8 · Volume 7
    Germanium fuzz; clean up with the guitar volume

Tuned down a half step. Intro is muted wah scratching before the riff lands.

These are starting points, not gospel. Every amp is a little different, so let your ears do the last 10%.
