Recording notes

From High & Mighty (2006). High & Mighty is the seventh studio album by southern rock jam band Gov't Mule. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Soldano SLO-100, the rig we use for Gov't Mule's other songs from High & Mighty, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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