Recording notes

From Neurasthenia (2016). Neurasthenia is a 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, the nearest rig we use for Psychonaut 4's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
