From Random Access Memories (2013). Random Access Memories is the fourth and final studio album by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Daft Punk's other songs from Random Access Memories, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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