From Opposition (2015). Opposition is an album by the South Tyrolean rock band Frei.Wild, released on 3 April 2015 by Rookies & Kings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
