From Walking into Clarksdale (1998). A hypnotic, Eastern-flavoured rock groove from the pair's only studio album together, with a layered, overdriven guitar riff. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Most High" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
