From Under the Force of Courage (2015). Under the Force of Courage is a studio album by the Japanese power metal band Galneryus, released on 9 December 2015 by VAP. The album's personnel list credits Syu with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP Crying Star (Syu Model) through a Marshall JVM410H, the rig we use for Galneryus' other songs from Under the Force of Courage, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
