Recording notes

From Catharsis (2023). Catharsis is the third studio album by the American math rock band Covet, released on 7 April 2023 by Triple Crown Records. Guitar World's Catharsis feature says Yvette Young's signature Ibanez Talman YY10 covered all the material on the album, that her main amp is a Vox AC30 joined on this record by a Roland JC-40, and that "the chorus stuff has JC-40 blended in and everything that's broken up is the AC30". That is the Ibanez YY10 into a Vox AC30 here, with the JC-40 blended in for the chorused parts; no source gives the settings, so the knob values are approximate. Set the amp to a light crunch for the broken-up parts and use the neck and middle pickups together.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the original recipe above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Coronal" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
