Recording notes

From Roque Marciano (2004). Roque Marciano is the second album by Brazilian rock band Detonautas Roque Clube, released on 23 April 2004 by WEA Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Detonautas' other songs from Roque Marciano, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck+bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
