From Get Ready (2001). Get Ready is the seventh studio album by English rock band New Order. It was released on 27 August 2001 in the United Kingdom by London Records and on 16 October 2001 in the United States by Reprise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for New Order's other songs from Get Ready, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
