From Juturna (2005). Juturna is the debut studio album by American rock band Circa Survive. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for Circa Survive's other songs from Juturna, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck and bridge pickups together. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Wish Resign" Tone
What guitar did Circa Survive use on "Wish Resign"?
The guitar on "Wish Resign" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck + bridge (position 3 / out-of-phase) on the guitar. The track is in D Standard (D G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Wish Resign" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "Wish Resign" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wish Resign" 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.
