Recording notes

From Take Them On, On Your Own (2003). Take Them On, On Your Own is the second studio album by American rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's other songs from Take Them On, On Your Own, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 5.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "In Like the Rose" without the original gear?

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