Recording notes

From Futique (2025). Futique is the tenth studio album by the Scottish alternative rock band Biffy Clyro, released on 19 September 2025 by Warner. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Biffy Clyro's other songs from Futique, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Woe Is Me, Wow Is 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.
