Recording notes

From Pull (1993). Pull is the third studio album by American rock band Winger. The album was released in 1993 by Atlantic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Pensa MK-1 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Winger's other songs from Pull, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
