Notes

Studio recording, 2017 era. Aaron Marshall is known to use Mayones Regius Core 7 with Bare Knuckle Silo pickups and Fractal Axe-Fx III for both live and studio, with the Axe-Fx III being the primary amp/effects source for the album 'The Way Forward' which includes 'Touch and Go'. No evidence of analog amps or pedals used in the studio for this solo; all effects and amp tones are from the Axe-Fx III.
