Recording notes

From This Is How Tomorrow Moves (2024). The rig on this recording isn't documented, so a Fairlane Zephyr into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.

Common Questions About the "Ever Seen" Tone

  1. What guitar did beabadoobee use on "Ever Seen"?

    The guitar on "Ever Seen" (released 2024) isn't documented; the Fairlane Zephyr above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Ever Seen" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Ever Seen" without the original gear?

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