Notes

Studio recording, 2022 release; settings and gear based on studio-focused amp setting guides and Jason Richardson's own statements about his solo work. PRS Archon and ENGL amps are also in his rotation, but Peavey Invective.120 is most consistently cited for this era and album. Effects loop is used for time-based effects.
