Studio recording for 'Behind Space' on the album 'Lunar Strain' (1993/1994). Gear inferred from era and genre; ESP Eclipse or Les Paul Custom with EMG 81/85 pickups into a Peavey 5150 head, 4x12 cab. Settings and pedal use based on genre, era, and cited sources. No evidence of live rig or later-era gear for this recording.
