Notes

Studio recording, 2013 (Fortress album). Gear inferred from artist's known studio rig for this era. No explicit source confirms clean section gear for 'Waters Rising', but PRS Tremonti Signature guitar and amp are the most documented for this period. No evidence of alternate guitars for clean sections.
