Notes

Studio recording for 'Blood In The Water' (2021, 'Child of the State' album); Ayron Jones used a stereo setup with Marshall JCM800 and Hiwatt amps. Clean tones likely from the JCM800 set clean or Hiwatt. Guitar is a Stratocaster HSS, most likely using single-coil neck or neck+middle for clean sections.
