Notes

Studio recording, 2008 (El Reino Olvidado album). Gear confirmed for album era, but not for this exact song/solo. DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 confirmed for album. No direct source for exact amp model/settings for this solo, but Giardino is known for Strat + Marshall JCM800 + DOD 250 for leads in this period.
