Studio recording for 'In Shadows' (2022, from 'Oh What the Future Holds'). Guitarists Will Putney and Patrick Sheridan are both credited, but the RG752 and 5150 are the most consistently cited for the band's main rhythm tone in this era. No explicit evidence for live vs. studio differences for this song's riff section.
