From Infinity Overhead (2012). Infinity Overhead is the fifth full-length album from Minus the Bear, released on August 28, 2012. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Minus the Bear's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck and middle pickups together. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 5, 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.
Can I play "Cold Company" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Cold Company" 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.
