Recording notes

From The Dream, The Space (2011). The Dream, the Space is the debut studio album by Japanese metalcore band Crossfaith. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 through a Blackstar Series One 200, the nearest rig we use for Crossfaith's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
