From Babymetal (2014). Babymetal is the debut studio album by Japanese heavy metal group Babymetal. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez Iron Label RGIR30BE through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for BABYMETAL's other songs from Babymetal, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.

The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
