Recording notes

From Splat! (2026). Splat! is the 24th studio album by English hard rock band Deep Purple, released on 3 July 2026. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall Major (200W) - 'The Pig', the rig we use for Deep Purple's other songs from Splat!, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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