From Colour by Numbers (1983). Colour by Numbers is the second album by the British pop band Culture Club. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Culture Club's other songs from Colour by Numbers, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck and middle pickups together. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Miss Me Blind" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Miss Me Blind" 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.
