From Puzzle (2007). Puzzle is the fourth studio album by Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro, released 4 June 2007 – the album was later released in America on 18 September 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Biffy Clyro's other songs from Puzzle, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
