    Every one of the In the Wake of Poseidon tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue). ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.

  2. What guitar was used on In the Wake of Poseidon?

    The Gibson Les Paul Custom appears on the most In the Wake of Poseidon tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from In the Wake of Poseidon we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.
