From Kessoku Band (2022). The debut album of the fictional band from the anime Bocchi the Rock!, produced by Gen Okamura at studios in Tokyo and released digitally on December 25, 2022. The band is a fictional anime project, its studio guitar parts are played by session musicians and no recording rig has been published, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 stands in. Set the amp to a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Never Forget" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Never Forget" 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.
