Recording notes

From Your Favorite Weapon (2001). Your Favorite Weapon is the debut studio album by American rock band Brand New, released in 2001. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Brand New's other songs from Your Favorite Weapon, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
