Solo: 

This solo is personally one of my Favourite Rage against the Machine Solos, he has a tremolo effect and a harmonizer effect going while he does his trademark toggle switch method for the second part of the solo but it sounds ok without effects though. 
Solo Part 1: (with tremolo and whammy, no toggle switch method going)

 Ok… lets take a deep breath and dig deep for some energy, (play this part so fast your fingers want to fall off.)
