Recording notes

From Monkey Hotel (2016). Monkey Hotel is the first studio album by South Korean indie rock band Jannabi, released on August 4, 2016, through Peponi Music and distributed by LOEN Entertainment. 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 nearest rig we use for Jannabi's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Summer" Tone

  1. What guitar did Jannabi use on "Summer"?

    The guitar on "Summer" (released 2016) isn't documented; the Gibson ES-335 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Summer" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 5.5. 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.

  3. Can I play "Summer" without the original gear?

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