From We Are Chaos (2020). We Are Chaos is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Marilyn Manson's other songs from We Are Chaos, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
