Recording notes

From Down to Earth (2001). Down to Earth is the eighth studio album by the English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released on 16 October 2001. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Ozzy Osbourne's other songs from Down to Earth, 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.
