Recording notes

From Heavy Meta (2017). Heavy Meta is the second solo studio album by Ron Gallo, released on February 3, 2017. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven garage-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
