From Diorama (2002). Diorama is the fourth studio album by Australian rock band Silverchair, released on 31 March 2002 by Atlantic and Eleven. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Soldano SLO-100, the rig we use for Silverchair's other songs from Diorama, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
