From Visions (1997). Visions is the sixth studio album by Finnish power metal band Stratovarius, released on 28 April 1997 through Noise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Stratovarius' other songs from Visions, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
