From This Is Not a Test (2015). This Is Not a Test is the seventh studio album by Christian hip hop artist TobyMac, released on August 7, 2015, through ForeFront Records and Capitol CMG. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
