From Beg to Differ (1990). Beg to Differ is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Prong, released in 1990 through Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Prong's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
