From Kings & Queens (2009). Kings & Queens is the second studio album by English indie rock singer-songwriter Jamie T, released on 7 September 2009 by Virgin Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Jamie T's other songs from Kings & Queens, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Hocus Pocus" (released 2009) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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 "Hocus Pocus" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hocus Pocus" 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.
