From Everything at Once (2016). Everything at Once is the eighth studio album by the Scottish band Travis, the album was released on 29 April 2016. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the nearest rig we use for Travis' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
