Recording notes

From Pior cenário possível (2015). Pior cenário possível is the seventh and final studio album by the Brazilian cowpunk band Matanza, released in 2015 by Deckdisc. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Matanza's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
