From 13 (2017). 13 is the 13th studio album by the French band Indochine, released on 8 September 2017 by Indochine. The album's personnel list credits Nicola Sirkis, Oli de Sat and Boris on guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the rig we use for Indochine's other songs from 13, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle+bridge pickups together.
