Recording notes

From We Are the Mess (2014). We Are the Mess is the second studio album by German electronicore band Electric Callboy (formerly Eskimo Callboy). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Banshee Elite-6 through a Peavey Invective.120, the nearest rig we use for Electric Callboy's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

  3. Can I play "Is Anyone Up" without the original gear?

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