From Dopamine Chamber (2026). A track built on the band's driving, slightly abrasive guitars. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the neck and bridge pickups. Tuning isn't documented here.
