Recording notes

From Overexposed (2012). Overexposed is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Maroon 5. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Matchless DC-30, the nearest rig we use for Maroon 5's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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 "One More Night" without the original gear?

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