From Twin Plagues (2021). Twin Plagues is the third studio album by American band Wednesday, released by Orindal Records on August 13, 2021. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Wednesday's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
