Recording notes

From Still Searching (2006). Still Searching is the second studio album by American rock band Senses Fail, released on October 10, 2006 through Vagrant Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for Senses Fail's other songs from Still Searching, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
