Notes
Studio recording, 2024-2026 era; confirmed for 'We Go Back' album sessions. Clean tone sections likely use the SG Junior into the Dumble and Dual Showman blend, as per Urban's studio rig for this album. No pedalboard for clean sections; time-based effects handled post-amp via Fractal Axe-Fx II.
