From The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A (2007). The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A is a 2007 studio album by Exodus. 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 The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
