From A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is the debut studio album by the American pop rock band Panic! at the Disco, released on September 27, 2005, through Decaydance and Fueled by Ramen. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Panic! at the Disco's other songs from A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
