Recording notes

From Insomniac Doze (2006). Insomniac Doze is the fourth album from Envy. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for envy's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

Common Questions About the "Night in Winter" Tone

  1. What guitar did envy use on "Night in Winter"?

    The guitar on "Night in Winter" (released 2006) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "Night in Winter" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 5.5. 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 "Night in Winter" without the original gear?

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