From Jam Room (1999). Jam Room is the fourth full-length album by the American rock band Clutch, released in 1999 on the band's own label River Road Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange OR120, the nearest rig we use for Clutch's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
