Recording notes

From Amazing Things (2021). Amazing Things is the fourth studio album by English four-piece rock band Don Broco. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Don Broco's other songs from Amazing Things, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
