From Generator Zla (1998). Generator Zla is a 1998 studio album by Aria. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Aria's other songs from Generator Zla, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
