Notes

Studio recording for 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' (2002). Ray Toro used a Gession Les Paul copy and a Marshall JCM800 for main guitar tracks. No evidence of boutique pedals or high-end gear for clean tones on this album. Settings estimated for clean section based on amp, era, and genre.
