From Tostaky (1992). Tostaky is the third studio album by the French rock band Noir Désir, released on 8 December 1992 by Barclay. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Noir Désir's other songs from Tostaky, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
