From Casting Crowns (2003). Casting Crowns is the first studio album by American Christian rock band Casting Crowns. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Casting Crowns' other songs from Casting Crowns, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck 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.
