From Scandinavian Leather (2003). Scandinavian Leather is an album by the Norwegian band Turbonegro that followed the band's reunion in 2002 and was released in April 2003 on Burning Heart Records in Sweden, on Bitzcore Records in Germany, on JVC/Victor Records in Japan, and on 6 May 2003 on Epitaph Records in the United States. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the nearest rig we use for Turbonegro's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain 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.
