Notes

Studio recording, 2006 self-titled album. Amp identified as Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier (custom modded) per forum sources; some mention of JCM800 but majority consensus is Dual Rectifier for album rhythm tones. Guitar is Les Paul Standard with Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup, as per Equipboard and era-appropriate interviews.
