Recording notes

From Acceptance Speech (2013). Acceptance Speech is the fifth studio album by American rock band Dance Gavin Dance, released on October 8, 2013, on Rise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX II, the rig we use for Dance Gavin Dance's other songs from Acceptance Speech, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Dance Gavin Dance use on "The Jiggler"?

    The guitar on "The Jiggler" (released 2013) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Mid 6.5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 5. 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.

  3. Can I play "The Jiggler" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Jiggler" 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.
