From Half Hour of Power (2000). Half Hour of Power is a 2000 EP by Sum 41. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Sum 41's other songs from Half Hour of Power, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
