From El Pintor (2014). El Pintor (Spanish for "the painter"; also an anagram of "Interpol") is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Interpol. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Interpol's other songs from El Pintor, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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