From Vol. II (2026). Vol. II is the second studio album by the Canadian rock group Angine de Poitrine, released on 3 April 2026 through Spectacles Bonzaï. It won the 2026 Polaris Music Prize. Angine de Poitrine's Wikipedia article says guitarist Khn de Poitrine plays a custom double-necked guitar-and-bass with additional microtonal frets, so the microtonal pitches cannot be reproduced on a standard-fretted guitar; the published transcription is in standard tuning. "Fabienk" was longlisted for and went on to win the 2026 SOCAN Polaris Song Prize. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a lightly driven emo pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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