Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (from 'The Shape of Colour' album). Aaron Marshall is known to use the Mayones Regius 6 Custom with Bare Knuckle Juggernaut pickups and Fractal Axe-Fx II for both live and studio, with the Axe-Fx II providing amp and effects modeling. No evidence of traditional tube amp or pedalboard for this specific recording; all effects and amp tones likely from Axe-Fx II. All information is specific to the studio recording, not live.
