Recording notes

From Horrorscope (2000). Horrorscope is the second studio album by American rock band Eve 6. It was recorded at NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California, released on July 25, 2000 by RCA Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM900 2100 SL-X, the rig we use for Eve 6's other songs from Horrorscope, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Girl Eyes" Tone

  1. What guitar did Eve 6 use on "Girl Eyes"?

    The guitar on "Girl Eyes" (released 2000) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Girl Eyes" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "Girl Eyes" without the original gear?

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