From Once More 'Round the Sun (2014). Once More 'Round the Sun is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Mastodon. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Friedman BE-100, the rig we use for Mastodon's other songs from Once More 'Round the Sun, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
