Will Swan tracked the 2008 self-titled material primarily blending an Orange Rockerverb and Marshall crunch with a compressed, bright edge. On the Zoom G1 Four, the ORANGE ROCK amp block gives the low-mid warmth, while running the TS block as a tight mid-boost compensates for the slightly darker ceramic humbuckers on the 7-string Ibanez GIO. The OptComp block keeps the intricate tapping and chord melody balanced across all strings.
