From Brighten (2021). Brighten is the third solo album by Alice in Chains guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Jerry Cantrell Wino Les Paul Custom (Signature) through a Bogner Ecstasy 101B, the rig we use for Jerry Cantrell's other songs from Brighten, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
