From Pony (2019). Pony is the debut studio album by South African country musician Orville Peck, released on March 22, 2019 by Sub Pop. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G6136T White Falcon through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Orville Peck's other songs from Pony, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
