Recording notes

From Combat Sports (2018). Combat Sports is the fourth studio album by English indie rock band, The Vaccines. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30CC2 Custom Classic, the rig we use for The Vaccines' other songs from Combat Sports, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the middle and bridge pickups together.
