From Nothing to Prove (2008). Nothing to Prove is the fifth studio album by American punk rock band H2O. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven garage-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
