Recording notes

From Kargo (2022). Kargo is a 2022 studio album by Kraftklub. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Kraftklub's other songs from Kargo, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
