From Impact Is Imminent (1990). Impact Is Imminent is the fourth studio album by American thrash metal band Exodus, released on July 10, 1990. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL2 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Exodus' other songs from Impact Is Imminent, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
