From Too High to Die (1994). Too High to Die is the eighth studio album by American rock band the Meat Puppets. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Fender Silverface Twin Reverb, the rig we use for Meat Puppets' other songs from Too High to Die, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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