From Permanent Vacation (1987). No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s into a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the neck pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.

Can I play "Hangman Jury" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hangman Jury" 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.
