From Yungblud (2022). Yungblud is the third studio album by English musician Yungblud, released on 2 September 2022 by Locomotion and Geffen Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Junior through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for YUNGBLUD's other songs from Yungblud, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the single pickup.
