From Animals as Leaders (2009). Animals as Leaders is the debut studio album by American instrumental progressive metal band Animals as Leaders, released on 28 April 2009 by Prosthetic Records. The album's personnel list credits Tosin Abasi with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Abasi Concepts Larada 8 Multi-Scale through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III, the rig we use for Animals as Leaders' other songs from Animals as Leaders, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
