Notes

Studio recording for 'Dilemma' (2023/2024, Saviors album). Guitar confirmed via video/photo evidence from 'Making of Dilemma' and Equipboard. Amp inferred from multiple sources referencing Saviors sessions and Green Day's modern studio rig. Settings estimated based on genre, amp type, and typical Green Day studio approach.
