From Jinx (2026). Jinx is the sixth studio album by the American pop rock band Waterparks. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS SE Silver Sky through a Line 6 Helix Floor, the rig we use for Waterparks' other songs from Jinx, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
