From Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998). Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is the fourth studio album by singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, released by Maverick Records in the United States on November 3, 1998. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Alanis Morissette's other songs from Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Joining You" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Joining You" 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.
