In The End

"Numb" is a rock song by Linkin Park, released as the third single from their second studio album, Meteora (2003), where it serves as the closing track. It became one of the band's most recognized songs, topping the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for 12 weeks. For electric guitarists, "Numb" offers a solid introduction to Linkin Park's blend of heavy rhythm guitar, melodic chord progressions, and the post-grunge tone that defined early 2000s rock.

  • "Numb" topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for 12 weeks, making it one of Linkin Park's biggest commercial hits.
  • The song is the closing track on Meteora (2003), giving it a distinctive emotional weight within the album's structure.
  • "Numb" also spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and peaked at number 11 on the Hot 100.

Brad Delson uses Strats for cleaner, textural studio parts that contrast with his heavy PRS-driven rhythm work. Their bright, articulate character adds sonic variety to Linkin Park's dynamic song arrangements.

Telecasters provide Delson with twangy, cutting tones for atmospheric clean passages, offering a different textural palette than his signature PRS guitars. These bright instruments layer beautifully with delay effects on tracks like 'Numb.'

The Custom 24 was Brad's cornerstone during Hybrid Theory and Meteora, delivering the tight, articulate heaviness that defined early Linkin Park's drop-tuned sound. Its versatility handles both crushing rhythm riffs and smooth clean tones seamlessly.

This amp's chunky, saturated low-mids and tight response make it perfect for Delson's drop-D and drop-C# palm-muted rhythms that anchor Linkin Park's heaviest moments. It cuts through dense production without losing definition.

Delson deploys the Cry Baby sparingly on select tracks for expressive, soulful moments that break up the relentless heaviness. Its responsive sweep adds dynamic character to atmospheric clean sections.

This workhorse delay creates the dotted-eighth rhythmic repeats essential to Linkin Park's clean, ambient textures, particularly on songs like 'Numb.' Its digital precision enables Brad's dramatic transitions between heavy and ethereal sections.
