From Panic Prevention (2007). Panic Prevention is the debut album by English indie rock singer-songwriter Jamie T, released on 29 January 2007 by Virgin Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Jamie T's other songs from Panic Prevention, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
