From Sticky (2021). Sticky is the fourth studio album by British rock band Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, released on 15 October 2021 through International Death Cult. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven garage-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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