From Das Kapital (2010). Das Kapital is the twelfth studio album by Brazilian rock band Capital Inicial, released on June 2, 2010 through Sony Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Capital Inicial's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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.
