Notes
Studio recording for 'Waiting for the End' (2010, A Thousand Suns). Hiwatt Lead 100 was specifically miked for this song in studio; Ibanez RGT3120 with D-Sonic bridge pickup was used for B tuning songs in this era. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier and 4x12 cabs are seen live but not confirmed for this solo's studio recording.
