From Humanoid (2024). Humanoid is the seventeenth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released on 26 April 2024. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording. Wolf Hoffmann has said he records Accept in the studio on Stratocasters rather than his Flying V, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
