From Jane Doe (2001). Jane Doe is the fourth studio album by American metalcore band Converge, released on September 4, 2001 by Equal Vision Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster Deluxe through an Orange OR120, the rig we use for Converge's other songs from Jane Doe, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
Common Questions About the "Homewrecker" Tone
What guitar did Converge use on "Homewrecker"?
The guitar on "Homewrecker" (released 2001) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster Deluxe above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Homewrecker" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 5, Mid 7, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "Homewrecker" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Homewrecker" 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.
