Danger Days Semi-Hollow Lift — Clean Pulse & Arena Chorus
Frank Iero identified an Epiphone ES-335 Dot as a major Danger Days touring guitar and said it may be the exact instrument used to record “SING.” The amplifier and effect settings are not documented song by song, so this recreation pairs that semi-hollow guitar with the era’s JCM2000 and Orange-cab palette and uses representative clean ambience.

Notes
Let the semi-hollow midrange carry the clean pulse. The chorus should become broader through doubles and level, not through an extreme increase in gain.
