From So Much (for) Stardust (2023). So Much (for) Stardust is the eighth studio album by American rock band Fall Out Boy. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for Fall Out Boy's other songs from So Much (for) Stardust, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
