From We're Not Here to Be Loved (2022). We're Not Here to Be Loved is the debut studio album by American rock band Fleshwater. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Fleshwater's other songs from We're Not Here to Be Loved, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).

The guitar on "The Razor's Apple" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 7.5. 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.
Can I play "The Razor's Apple" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Razor's Apple" 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.
