From Nightmare Logic (2017). Nightmare Logic is the second studio album by American thrash metal band Power Trip. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson X Series Soloist SL3X DX through a Peavey 5150 II, the rig we use for Power Trip's other songs from Nightmare Logic, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
