From The Pale Emperor (2015). The Pale Emperor is the ninth studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Marilyn Manson's other songs from The Pale Emperor, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
