From Surface Noise (2019). Surface Noise is a studio album by Judiciary. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Judiciary's other songs from Surface Noise, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
