From All We Love We Leave Behind (2012). All We Love We Leave Behind is a studio album by American metalcore band Converge, released in 2012 by Epitaph Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster Deluxe through an Orange OR120 (Vintage), the rig we use for Converge's other songs from All We Love We Leave Behind, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
