Recording notes

From A Dying Machine (2018). A Dying Machine is the fourth studio album and first concept album by American heavy metal band Tremonti. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Mark Tremonti through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Tremonti's other songs from A Dying Machine, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
