Notes

Studio recording, 1996. Scott Lucas is known for using a custom Telecaster with a bass pickup and an Ampeg V-4 amp for the 'As Good as Dead' album, which includes this song. No direct evidence for pedal use in the clean section; settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical Local H studio setup.
