From Daisy (2009). Daisy is the fourth studio album by American rock band Brand New, released September 22, 2009 on Interscope. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Brand New's other songs from Daisy, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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