Recording notes

From Let Me Get By (2016). Let Me Get By is the third studio album from blues-rock group Tedeschi Trucks Band, released in 2016. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Tedeschi Trucks Band's other songs from Let Me Get By, stands in. Set the amp to a light 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.
