Recording notes

From Borderland (2025). Borderland is a 2025 studio album by Amorphis. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Amorphis' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Fog to Fog" 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.
