From 3 (1985). 3 is the third studio album by French new wave band Indochine. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Indochine's other songs from 3, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
