Recording notes

From Peace (2018). Peace is the fifth studio album by Swedish hard rock band Graveyard. The album was released on 25 May 2018. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker Reissue, the rig we use for Graveyard's other songs from Peace, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

  3. Can I play "Bird of Paradise" without the original gear?

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