Recording notes

From Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls (2002). Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls is the debut studio album by American horror punk supergroup Murderdolls. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a classic hard-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
