From The Myth of the Happily Ever After (2021). The Myth of the Happily Ever After is the ninth studio album by Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro, released on 22 October 2021 on 14th Floor and Warner Records. 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 The Myth of the Happily Ever After, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
