From Lynch/Mob (1992). Lynch/Mob is a 1992 studio album by Lynch Mob. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP Kamikaze-1 through a Soldano SLO-100, the nearest rig we use for Lynch Mob's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
