Original Recording
Studio recording, 2020s. Martin Miller is known to use his Ibanez MM1 signature guitar and Neural DSP Quad Cortex for studio covers, including this Session Band recording. No evidence of traditional tube amp use on this track; all tones likely from Quad Cortex. Pickup selection inferred from Miller's own statements about using position 2 (bridge + middle) for clean/funky tones. Effects are likely from pedals or Quad Cortex blocks.
