From Even in Arcadia (2025). A track from Even in Arcadia that moves between clean, atmospheric guitar and heavier overdriven sections. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT7 through a Neural DSP Quad Cortex stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
