From The End Is Where We Begin (2012). The End Is Where We Begin is the sixth studio album by Canadian Christian rock band Thousand Foot Krutch. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Thousand Foot Krutch's other songs from The End Is Where We Begin, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
