What amp was Engines of Creation recorded with?

What guitar was used on Engines of Creation?
The Ibanez JS1200 Joe Satriani (a replica) appears on the most Engines of Creation 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 6 guitar tracks from Engines of Creation we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 6.5 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.
What pedals are on Engines of Creation?
The Boss DD-3 Digital Delay shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
