From The Gold Record (2006). The Gold Record is the seventh studio album by American punk rock band the Bouncing Souls and was released on June 6, 2006. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for The Bouncing Souls' other songs from The Gold Record, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain 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 "Sarah Saturday" 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.
