Recording notes

From American Saturday Night (2009). American Saturday Night is the eighth studio album by American country music artist Brad Paisley. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Brad Paisley Esquire through a Dr. Z Z-Wreck, the rig we use for Brad Paisley's other songs from American Saturday Night, stands in. Set the amp to a light 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 "Catch All the Fish" 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.
