From Pushing the Senses (2005). Pushing the Senses is the fifth studio album by Welsh rock band Feeder. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Original 60s Jazzmaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Feeder's other songs from Pushing the Senses, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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