Notes
Studio recording, 2011. Jack Fowler and Justin Hills have confirmed use of Axe-Fx for both live and studio during this era. No physical amp head or cab was used; all tones were modeled in the Axe-Fx. Guitar model and pickups inferred from artist interviews and rig rundowns for this album cycle.
