From Dipsomania (2015). Dipsomania is a 2015 studio album by Psychonaut 4. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a saturated black-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
