From The View from This Tower (2000). The View from This Tower is the only full-length album by the American post-hardcore band Faraquet. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven post-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
