Recording notes

From Sterben in Karl-Marx-Stadt (2025). Sterben in Karl-Marx-Stadt is a 2025 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 Sterben in Karl-Marx-Stadt, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
