From Cuts & Bruises (2023). Cuts & Bruises is the second studio album by Irish rock band Inhaler. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Inhaler's other songs from Cuts & Bruises, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Perfect Storm" Tone
What guitar did Inhaler use on "Perfect Storm"?
The guitar on "Perfect Storm" (released 2023) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Perfect Storm" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Perfect Storm" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Perfect Storm" 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.
