Recording notes

From Lead Sails Paper Anchor (2007). Lead Sails Paper Anchor is the fourth studio album by American rock band Atreyu. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EX-351 through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Atreyu's other songs from Lead Sails Paper Anchor, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

  3. Can I play "When Two Are One" without the original gear?

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