Notes

Studio recording for 'Contraband' (2021). Guitarist Nick McLernon is confirmed to use the Jackson Pro Dinky DK2M and Neural DSP Quad Cortex for amp/cab simulation. No evidence of traditional tube amps or specific pedal models used in the studio. All evidence points to amp/cab/effects being handled in the Quad Cortex. No explicit mention of live vs studio differences for this song's riff section.
