From In Waves (2011). In Waves is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Trivium's other songs from In Waves, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
