Recording notes

From Back from the Dead (2022). Back from the Dead is the fifth studio album by American rock band Halestorm. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Explorer through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Halestorm's other songs from Back from the Dead, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
