Notes
Studio recording for 'First Date' (2001, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket). Tom DeLonge used his signature Gibson ES-333 with a single Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom bridge humbucker. The amp tone was a blend of Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and Marshall JCM900 4100, both into 4x12 cabinets. No evidence of other guitars or amps used for the main riff in the studio. Effects were mostly rack-based (TC Electronic G-Force) and/or pedals. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.
