Recording notes

From Catharsis (2023). Catharsis is the third studio album by the American math rock band Covet. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez AZ2204 through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Covet's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Bronco" Tone

  1. What guitar did Covet use on "Bronco"?

    The guitar on "Bronco" (released 2023) isn't documented; the Ibanez AZ2204 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Bronco" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 5.5. 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.

  3. Can I play "Bronco" without the original gear?

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