From Let's Cheers to This (2011). Let's Cheers to This is the second album by the American rock band Sleeping with Sirens. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Sleeping with Sirens' other songs from Let's Cheers To This, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
