Recording notes

From The Hands That Thieve (2013). The Hands That Thieve is the fifth studio album by the American ska-punk band Streetlight Manifesto. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Peavey Classic 30, the rig we use for Streetlight Manifesto's other songs from The Hands That Thieve, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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.
