From Digital Garbage (2018). Digital Garbage is the tenth studio album by American rock band Mudhoney. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Hagstrom Super Swede through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Mudhoney's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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