Used on Pup's 2022 album, "THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND", namely on the song "Waiting" (according to the November 2022 Guitar World interview).

At times, Sladkowski would play through the same pedal chain as the studio’s Moog synth, or make loops in his bedroom, then pipe them into the live room. Other times, he’d double electric parts with a hollowbody, as on the massive “Waiting,” which includes a ’62 Gibson ES-125 shadowing his normal Jazzmaster, lending the verses additional rhythmic punch, room sound and color as the tension climbs.

Steve Sladkowski confirms his use of the Rarities Flame Maple Top Chambered Telecaster in a Substack post, mentioning at [2:32] that he plays a "2019 limited edition series fender... it is a chambered telecaster," with on-screen text stating "Fender Telecaster Rarities Series Chambered."

In a Substack post titled "Steve's Guitar Collection," Steve Sladkowski mentions using the Fender American Professional II Telecaster Deluxe, stating he was looking for a "Tele Deluxe with humbuckers just to add a little sort of heavy beef to the live shows." The guitar can also be seen in live performances of songs like "Paranoid" or any other Drop D/C song by the band. Ex: https://youtu.be/bElWoPg13-0?si=PaX47HLG_uRa2397

Steve Sladkowski uses the Bixonic EXP-2000 Expandora pedal, as confirmed in the band's AMA on r/indieheads. In response to a question about the guitar tones on "who will look after the dogs" compared to their previous albums, the band stated: "The biggest difference is that we used an Expandora on a lot of the guitars! And before that, we'd never heard of that pedal. But if it's good enough for Billy Gibbons, it's good enough for a bunch of dorks from Canada."
