From Greetings from Imrie House (2005). Greetings from Imrie House is the debut studio album by American pop rock band the Click Five. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
