Recording notes

From Colors (2007). Colors is the fourth studio album by the American progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me, released on September 18, 2007, through Victory Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Between the Buried and Me's other songs from Colors, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
