Notes

Studio recording, 2016. Plini is confirmed to use his Neural DSP Archetype: Plini plugin for studio tones post-2019, but for the 2016 'Every Piece Matters' recording, he used a Strandberg Boden 6 with Suhr pickups and amp sims (Axe-FX II or similar). The Neural DSP plugin emulates this era's tones. No evidence of live amp use for the studio version.
