From Jealous Again (1980). Their second EP, produced by Spot and Black Flag and recorded in November 1979 and April 1980 at Media Art in Hermosa Beach, California, it was released through SST Records in August 1980. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Black Flag, stands in. Set the amp to a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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