Notes

No direct studio documentation found; Reddit user cites Stratocaster into Marshall Code 25 for replicating 'Car Underwater' tone, but this is not the original studio amp. Recording year is 2004 for the album 'What to Do When You Are Dead'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section in the studio.
