From Kūchū Camp (1996). Kūchū Camp is a 1996 studio album by Fishmans. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the nearest rig we use for Fishmans' other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Slow Days" Tone
What guitar did Fishmans use on "Slow Days"?
The guitar on "Slow Days" (released 1996) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Slow Days" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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.
Can I play "Slow Days" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Slow Days" 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.
