Recording notes

From Nonnegative (2022). Nonnegative is the seventh studio album by Japanese rock band Coldrain, released on 6 July 2022. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Coldrain's other songs from Nonnegative, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Rabbit Hole" 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.
