From Shmap'n Shmazz (1995). Shmap'n Shmazz is the only full-length studio album by the American emo band Cap'n Jazz, released in 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the rig we use for Cap'n Jazz's other songs from Shmap'n Shmazz, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "¡Qué Suerté!" (released 1995) isn't documented; the Fender Player Jaguar above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 4.5, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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.
Can I play "¡Qué Suerté!" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "¡Qué Suerté!" 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.
