Recording notes

From Dictator (2018). Dictator is the second studio album by American rock band Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, released via Scarred for Life on July 20, 2018. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway's other songs from Dictator, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
