From Constellations (2009). Constellations is the third studio album by American metalcore band August Burns Red, released on 14 July 2009 by Solid State Records. The album's personnel list credits J.B. Brubaker on lead guitar and Brent Rambler on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG550 Genesis through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for August Burns Red's other songs from Constellations, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
