From Lovehatetragedy (2002). Jerry Horton's guitar is a tight, mid-gain rhythm sound. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Schecter Tempest through a Dual Rectifier stands in. Use the bridge pickup with a hard rock crunch with the mids forward. Tuning isn't documented here.
