From Surface, Echo & Sound (2026). A track with Editors' driving, reverb-heavy guitars. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp at a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Call It In" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
