From K (1996). K is the debut album by the English psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker, released on 16 September 1996 by Columbia. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Kula Shaker's other songs from K, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Start All Over" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Start All Over" 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.
