Recording notes

From Periphery II: This Time It's Personal (2012). Their second studio album, produced by Misha Mansoor and Adam Getgood, it was released in the United States on 3 July 2012 through Sumerian. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT6 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III, the nearest rig to the one documented for Periphery, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C.
