From Pale Communion (2014). A progressive-rock-leaning track that moves between warm clean passages and crunchy, driving riffs. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Marshall JMP 2203 Master Volume stands in. Use the neck pickup and set the amp for a moderate crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
