From A Eulogy for Those Still Here (2022). Counterparts are a Canadian metalcore band formed in Hamilton, Ontario in 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig to the one documented for Counterparts, stands in. Set the amp to a high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C.
