From Big Game (1989). Big Game is the third studio album by the American glam metal band White Lion. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR Mahogany through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for White Lion's other songs from Big Game, 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.
