Studio recording, 2006. Gear inferred from Equipboard listing of Red's studio equipment and era. No direct confirmation of exact amp model for this song, but Axe-FX III is listed as primary studio amp modeler for Red. Guitar model inferred from Equipboard as used by Anthony Armstrong for heavy riff sections.
