From ACT III (2026). A swaggering, riff-led track from ACT III, with an overdriven, slightly psychedelic guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
