From Uroboros (2008). Uroboros is the seventh studio album by the Japanese heavy metal band Dir En Grey, released on 11 November 2008 by Firewall Div.. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Dir En Grey's other songs from Uroboros, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
