From Mission California (2007). Mission California is Cross Canadian Ragweed's fourth studio album. It was released on October 2, 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410 IV, the nearest rig we use for Cross Canadian Ragweed's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Cry Lonely" (released 2007) isn't documented; the Fender American Standard Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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