From Temple of the Dog (1991). Temple of the Dog is the only studio album by the American rock band Temple of the Dog, released on April 16, 1991, through A&M Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Classic through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Temple of the Dog, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
