Recording notes

From Final Destination (2009). Final Destination is the debut studio album by Japanese rock band Coldrain. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Coldrain's other songs from Final Destination, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch 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.
