From Post Orgasmic Chill (1999). Post Orgasmic Chill is the third studio album by British rock band Skunk Anansie, first released in 1999. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Skunk Anansie's other songs from Post Orgasmic Chill, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
