Recording notes

From Life Under the Gun (2023). Life Under the Gun is the first full-length studio album by American hardcore punk group Militarie Gun. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Militarie Gun's other songs from Life Under the Gun, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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