Notes
Studio recording for 'We Are Not Alone' (2004). Gear confirmed for album sessions; Soldano SLO 100 used for heavy tones. PRS Standard 22 was Burnley's main guitar for this era. Randall RM100 and Hughes & Kettner TriAmp MK II also seen in studio, but Soldano cited as main heavy amp for the record.
