Recording notes

From Dust (2016). Dust is the third studio album by heavy metal band Tremonti, released on 29 April 2016 by FRET12 Records. The album's personnel list credits Mark Tremonti on lead guitar and Eric Friedman on rhythm guitar. 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 Dust, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
