From The Flood (2011). The Flood is the second studio album by American rock band Of Mice & Men. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Of Mice & Men's other songs from The Flood, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
