From Never Hungover Again (2014). Never Hungover Again is the third studio album by American rock band Joyce Manor, released on July 22, 2014, through Epitaph Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Joyce Manor's other songs from Never Hungover Again, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 7. 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 "Heart Tattoo" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Heart Tattoo" 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.
