Recording notes

From Those Days Are Gone (2014). Those Days Are Gone is a studio album by Free Throw. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the rig we use for Free Throw's other songs from Those Days Are Gone, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck+bridge pickups together.

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.
