From Faceless (2003). Faceless is the fourth studio album by American rock band Godsmack. It is the first album to feature drummer Shannon Larkin. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Godsmack's other songs from Faceless, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
