Guitarists Head and Munky completely redefined metal guitar playing by utilizing seven-string instruments tuned down to A. Their work on Follow The Leader relies heavily on stereo panning and effects pedals—such as Whammy pedals, phasers, and delays.

They utilized an array of effects pedals—pitch shifters, phasers, and envelope filters. The high sampling rate of 88.2kHz captures the complex upper harmonics of these effects, separating Head's eerie, high-pitched leads from Munky's crushing, down-tuned rhythm tracks with razor-sharp imaging.
