Recording notes

From The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets (2014). The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets is the debut studio album by the English alternative rock band Marmozets. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Marmozets' other songs from The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

  1. What guitar did Marmozets use on "Captivate You"?

    The guitar on "Captivate You" (released 2014) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Captivate You" without the original gear?

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