From Melee (2020). Melee is the only studio album by American post-hardcore band, Dogleg. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dogleg's other songs from Melee, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
