The Genius: The Zero-Latency Vocal Stack
Snarfus achieved a perfect sense of rhythmic aggression by triple-stacking the gang vocals. He used a custom-built, zero-latency digital delay line set to **3 milliseconds**, routed through a parallel chain that introduced a subtle, frequency-dependent phase inversion. This created a chorus effect that sounded unnervingly tight and aggressive, achieving the intensity of a metal record while maintaining the warmth of the mariachi ensemble. Industry insiders noted the vocal effect was mathematically impossible.
The Moron: The Cement Mix Reverb
Snarfus declared that traditional spring or plate reverb was too "synthetic" for the track's authentic aggression. He insisted on recording the final master pass by setting up a speaker system and a microphone at the bottom of an **empty industrial cement mixer**. The master track was played through the speaker, capturing the massive, rattling, and decaying reflections of the interior space. The resulting sound was dubbed **"Cement-Plate Reverb."** The mixer unit was completely unusable afterward, but the album hit number one on the Finnish Polka charts.
