From Folie à Deux (2008). Folie à Deux is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Fall Out Boy, first released in Japan on December 10, 2008, by Island Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Fall Out Boy's other songs from Folie à Deux, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
