From Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks (2019). Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks is a 2019 EP by Dry Cleaning. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Dry Cleaning's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck and bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.

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