From Dopamine Chamber (2026), the band's newest album. Premier Guitar's May 2025 rig rundown has Conor Curley on a Fairlane Zephyr, a Jazzmaster and a Johnny Marr Jaguar and Carlos O'Connell on a 1964 Mustang, all through Fender Twin Reverbs EQ'd fairly flat so the pedals do the shaping. No source breaks the rig down by song on this record, so a Jazzmaster into a Twin Reverb stands in. Keep the amp clean with a little edge on the bridge pickup and leave the extra grit to pedals. Tuning isn't documented here.

Can I play "You Miss Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "You Miss Me" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
