Recording notes

The third single from the band's self-titled debut album, released on 16 May 2017 ahead of the album on 9 June 2017 via Partisan Records. The album was recorded in 2015 in Brooklyn, mostly live with a small audience, and Greg Gonzalez is credited with electric and acoustic guitars, recording and production. The sources available here don't name the guitar or amp, so the rig is a suggestion. Use a very clean, soft neck-pickup tone with lots of reverb and a hint of tremolo, and play slow, sparse arpeggios. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Each Time You Fall in Love" 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.

    The recording has reverb on it. No source names the unit behind it, so this page doesn't guess one. ToneMirror maps each effect onto your rig - a pedal you own, your amp's own controls, or a block on a modeler - and says plainly when your rig can't make one.
