Recording notes

From Triggerfinger (2004). Triggerfinger is the self-titled debut album of Belgian rock band Triggerfinger, released on 26 January 2004 by Green L.F.ant Records. The album's personnel list credits Ruben Block with guitar, 6-string bass and lap steel. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G6136T White Falcon through a Fender Silverface Twin Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Triggerfinger's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck 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.
