Recording notes

Released as a 2019 single. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for MAN WITH A MISSION's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  3. Can I play "Dark Crow" without the original gear?

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