  1. What amp was Sunbather recorded with?

    The Sunbather tracks we've broken down were tracked across 2 amps, led by the Top Hat Emplexador and the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Each track's page lists the specific one, and the match engine re-voices it for your amp.

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Sunbather tracks in our catalog, with the Jazzmaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster) also turning up. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Sunbather we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–8), with bass 5, mid 4, treble 7 on a 0–10 scale. That's the record's window rather than any one song's recipe - pick a track above for the exact knob positions it was recorded with.

    The Electro-Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
