From The Last Kind Words (2007). The Last Kind Words is the third studio album by American heavy metal band DevilDriver. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through an EVH 5150III 100W EL34 Head, the rig we use for DevilDriver's other songs from The Last Kind Words, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
