Recording notes

From Dopamine Chamber (2026). A track built on the band's driving, slightly abrasive guitars. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the neck and bridge pickups. Tuning isn't documented here.

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