Recording notes

From Romantic Rhapsody (2006). Romantic Rhapsody is a studio album by the Indonesian rock band Ada Band, released on 27 March 2006. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
