Recording notes

From Different Gear, Still Speeding (2011). Different Gear, Still Speeding is the debut studio album by the English rock band Beady Eye, initially released in Japan on 23 February 2011, and released in the UK on 28 February 2011. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Beady Eye's other songs from Different Gear, Still Speeding, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Beady Eye use on "Beatles and Stones"?

    The guitar on "Beatles and Stones" (released 2011) isn't documented; the Gibson ES-335 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Beatles and Stones" without the original gear?

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