* to get the cool lead effect I use a phaser and set the feedback 
and speed both to six, also use lots of reverb.

Well, that's pretty much it.I got everything as close as possible,
my band covers this song and this is how we play it, it sounds 
really good.

And once again, this is not my song, i didn't write it, I only 
credit to Theory Of A Deadman and Tyler Connolly for writing it.
