From Heritage (2011). Heritage is the tenth studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Soldano SLO-100, the rig we use for Opeth's other songs from Heritage, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
