I can't figure out how to play the intro to this for the life of me. There are text tabs all over the net but no guitar pro that I can find. It seems like it should be easy but with all the delay I can't figure out how fast to play it.

I'm trying to convert the tab into guitar pro.
On all tabs that I have found, the intro is played 6 notes per measure. Giving me the impression that it's triplet quarter notes. But then after the intro it switches to 8 notes per measure.(it doesn't sound like the notes have changed.. like they should still be triplet quarter notes) I can't make any sense of it. I've tabbed it all in but it doesn't sound right. I can't tell if it doesn't sound right because there is no slap-back delay or if because the tempo is set wrong. It's driving me crazy to say the least.

Anybody have any experience with this song? I appreciate it.
 
i'm no expert at all, but i think it might have an echo effect
and a related hint to ask for help: there's a part in Children of Decadence that kind of sounds like that intro
