From Strange Trails (2015). Strange Trails is the second studio album by indie rock band Lord Huron. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Lord Huron's other songs from Strange Trails, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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