Notes
Studio recording, 2003. Evidence from rig rundowns and interviews indicates Vox AC30 was the primary amp for heavy/distorted Thrice tones of this era. Guitar confirmed as Dustin Kensrue's signature Stingray with humbuckers. No evidence of live gear or alternate amps for this specific song section.
