What amp was Vicious Cycle recorded with?

What guitar was used on Vicious Cycle?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Vicious Cycle tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.
