From World Domination (2018). World Domination is the fifth studio album by Japanese all-female rock band Band-Maid, released in Japan on 14 February 2018 by Crown Stones. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for BAND-MAID's other songs from World Domination, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "I Can't Live Without 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 "I Can't Live Without 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.
