From Saosin (2006). Saosin is the debut studio album by American rock band Saosin, released on September 26, 2006 through Capitol Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Saosin's other songs from Saosin, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
