Recording notes

From Poetics (2009). Poetics is the fifth studio album by the Mexican rock band Panda, released on 22 September 2009 by Movic Records and EMI Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 22 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Panda's other songs from Poetics, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
