From O Retorno de Saturno (2008). O Retorno de Saturno (English: The Return of Saturn) is the fourth album by Brazilian rock band Detonautas Roque Clube, released on March 15, 2008 by Sony BMG, being the group's first release by the label and also the first without guitarist Rodrigo Netto, who died on June 4, 2006. 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 nearest rig we use for Detonautas' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck+bridge pickups together.
