Notes
Studio recording for 'Let It Go' (2014/2015). Guitar is an Epiphone Century with a single P-90, amp is a late-60s 'silverface' Fender Twin Reverb. Minimal pedal use, mostly straight into amp. MXR Carbon Copy delay used sparingly. Settings estimated based on interviews and typical genre/amp use.
