Recording notes

From 23 (2017). 23 is a 2017 studio album by HYUKOH. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for HYUKOH's other songs from 23, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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