    Across the 1 Punk Covers tones in our catalog the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 5, treble 6 - on a 0–10 scale. That's the window, not a recipe: pick any song below for the exact knob positions it was recorded with, then let ToneMirror re-voice them for your amp.

    In our catalog the Punk Covers tones lean most on the Marshall JCM800 2203, the Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe. You don't need any of it - the match engine translates each recipe onto the gear you already own, compensating for a different EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type.
