From Youngbloods (2010). Youngbloods is a studio album by the Australian metalcore band the Amity Affliction, released on 18 June 2010 by Boomtown Records. The album's personnel list credits Troy Brady and Clint Owen Ellis with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for The Amity Affliction's other songs from Youngbloods, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
