Recording notes

From Para Ti Con Desprecio (2005). Para Ti Con Desprecio (Spanish: For You, With Disregard) is the third studio album by Mexican rock band Panda, released on 11 May 2005 through Movic and Warner Records, as the band's major-label debut. 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 nearest rig we use for Panda's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
