From Box Car Racer (2002). Box Car Racer is the only studio album by American rock band Box Car Racer. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven pop-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Tiny Voices" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Tiny Voices" 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.
