From Marching in Time (2021). Marching in Time is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Tremonti. Mark Tremonti told Vintage Guitar the album was about 80 percent his signature PRS MT 100 head, with a Cornford RK100 coupled on the dirty side and a Victory V40 for the clean side, and that he played his signature PRS guitar primarily. The interview ties none of that to a particular song, so a PRS Mark Tremonti through a PRS Mark Tremonti MT 100 is the closest listed match. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
