From ...IS YOUR FRIEND (2025). ...IS YOUR FRIEND is a studio album by Drain. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig we use for Drain's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
