Studio recording, 2015 (album: 'Grow'). Guitarist Mario Camarena is confirmed to use a custom Seth Hollander guitar with Seymour Duncan Hyperion single coils in this era. Amp model not explicitly stated in sources; likely a clean Fender-style amp based on genre and tone. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this section.
