Studio recording, 2006 Black Parade sessions. Ray Toro is seen using the Harmony H19 Silhouette for the 'Teenagers' solo in live footage, and this is widely accepted as the studio guitar as well. No direct evidence for the exact amp model on the studio recording, but Marshall JCM800 is consistent with MCR's Black Parade era studio tones. No evidence of live/tour gear being used for the studio recording.
