  2. What guitar was used on Colour by Numbers?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Standard Stratocaster) appears on the most Colour by Numbers tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Colour by Numbers we've catalogued, the median is gain 2 (range 2–2), with bass 5, mid 5, treble 6 on a 0–10 scale. That's the record's window rather than any one song's recipe - pick a track above for the exact knob positions it was recorded with.
