From Lost in the Sound of Separation (2008). Lost in the Sound of Separation is the sixth studio album by American rock band Underoath, released on 2 September 2008 by Solid State and Tooth & Nail Records. The album's personnel list credits Timothy McTague on lead guitar and James Smith on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Underoath's other songs from Lost in the Sound of Separation, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
