Recording notes

From Palace for the People (2026). Jake Kiszka's riffing sits in the vintage hard rock tradition. No source documents the guitar or amp on this recording, so a Gibson SG into a Marshall JCM800 stands in. Set the amp to a warm crunch with the mids up and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
