From ClapClapClap! (2019). ClapClapClap! is the debut studio album by Filipino band IV of Spades. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for IV of Spades' other songs from ClapClapClap!, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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