Notes

Studio recording for 'Resurrection Man' (2020, album: Lamb of God). Both Mark Morton and Willie Adler tracked rhythm guitars, blending their rigs: Mark IVs into Mesa 4x12 cabs with Celestion Vintage 30s. Pedals and settings are for studio rhythm/riff section, not live. Effects loop used for noise gate and EQ. No time-based or modulation effects on riff section.
