Notes
Studio recording for 'Still Breathing' (2016, Revolution Radio). Gear inferred from Green Day's documented studio rig for this album. No evidence of pedal use for clean sections; amp and guitar only. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical Billie Joe Armstrong clean tone approach.
