Notes

Studio recording for 'Map Change' (2016/2017). Guitarist Andy Williams is confirmed to use the ESP E-II M-I with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups and the Bison AW-77 amp in this era. No explicit studio pedalboard photo for this track, but this is the documented rig for the 'Low Teens' album cycle.
