Recording notes

From Piss in the Wind (2026). Piss in the Wind is the fourth studio album by Japanese-Australian singer-songwriter Joji, released on 6 February 2026, through Palace Creek and Virgin Music Group. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Joji's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  3. Can I play "Love You Less" without the original gear?

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