On Dire Straits’ On Every Street tour (1991/92) however, Mark Knopfler’s then-guitar technician Ron Eve allowed a few interviewers to copy his chart with most settings for the amps and effects.
In the studio, most engineers take photos of amp settings in case a part of the recording has to be fixed with later overdubs, but these pictures almost never get into the public. Nevertheless, to know the original setting of a sound can help you to come as close as possible within your playing ability. Besides, even if you use exactly the same kind of setup with the same setting as on the original song, this does not guarantee to get the same sound because the probably most important sound factor is the playing technique, the old saying “the sound is in his fingers”. Of course it is almost impossible to say which setting someone needs to recreate an authentic sound with his individual gear. Such questions are common in guitar forums all over the internet. A lot of people wonder how to adjust all the controls on the guitar amp or on effect devices to recreate the sound of song xy.
