From Get Behind Me Satan (2005). Get Behind Me Satan is the fifth studio album by the American rock duo the White Stripes. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Airline H78 through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for The White Stripes' other songs from Get Behind Me Satan, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
