Recording notes

From C'mon You Know (2022). A brisk, melodic rock song with a bright, crunchy guitar and a big, anthemic chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.

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.
