Notes

Studio recording, 2010s. Mark Tremonti is confirmed to use PRS Mark Tremonti Signature guitars and Diezel Herbert amps for Alter Bridge studio albums and live, including the 'AB III' era when 'Ties That Bind' was recorded. No direct source for clean section gear, but this is the only documented studio setup for this era.
