Recording notes

From Butterfly 3000 (2021). Butterfly 3000 is the eighteenth studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, released on 11 June 2021. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the nearest rig we use for King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  3. Can I play "Interior People" without the original gear?

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