Studio recording, 2003. Evidence from studio footage and gear rundowns confirms the Les Paul Custom and Mesa Triple Rectifier were used for the main riff rhythm tracks on 'Feeling This'. Marshall JCM900 may have been blended in mix, but Mesa Triple Rec is primary. No evidence of live/tour gear or other guitars for this section.
