From Conditions of My Parole (2011). Conditions of My Parole is the second studio album by American rock band Puscifer, released on 18 October 2011 by Puscifer Entertainment. The album's personnel list credits Mat Mitchell and Jonny Polonsky with guitar on this track. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Puscifer's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
