From Technicolor (2020). Technicolor is the second studio album by the American math rock band Covet, released on 5 June 2020 by Triple Crown Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording. Yvette Young plays her signature Ibanez Talman YY10 into Vox AC30s, so that rig, the one documented for the band's next album Catharsis, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, 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 "Parrot" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Parrot" 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.
