Notes

Studio recording, 2018+ era. Tom Quayle is confirmed to use the Ibanez AZ2204-GD with Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups and the Laney Lionheart L20T-112 amp for his signature fusion tones. The Wampler Dual Fusion overdrive is his signature pedal and is central to his lead sound. No explicit studio session details for this exact track, but gear matches era and artist's typical studio setup.
