From The Afterman: Ascension (2012). The Afterman: Ascension is the sixth studio album by American progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Explorer through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig to the one documented for Coheed and Cambria, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
