From Protection (2016). Protection is the tenth studio album by American punk rock band Face to Face, released on 4 March 2016 by Fat Wreck Chords. The album's personnel list credits Trever Keith and Dennis Hill with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Face to Face's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
