From The Clearing (2025). The Clearing leans toward warm, 1970s-style soft rock, so this is a cleaner, rounder part than the band's heavy material. The rig on this recording isn't documented, so a Fender Player Jaguar into an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.
