Recording notes

From Evolver (2003). Evolver is the seventh studio album by 311. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Standard 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for 311's other songs from Evolver, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Reconsider Everything" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. 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.
