Recording notes

From Outer Isolation (2011). Outer Isolation is the second full-length album recorded by the band Vektor. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson American Series Soloist SL3 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Vektor's other songs, 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.
