From Fake It Flowers (2020). Fake It Flowers is the debut studio album by Filipino and English singer and songwriter Beabadoobee. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for beabadoobee's other songs from Fake It Flowers, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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