Recording notes

From For Crying Out Loud (2017). For Crying Out Loud is the sixth studio album by English rock band Kasabian, released on 5 May 2017 by Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Kasabian's other songs from For Crying Out Loud, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-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.
