Recording notes

From Revolt (2013). Revolt is a 2013 album by the Japanese rock band Nothing's Carved in Stone released on June 26, 2013. 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 nearest rig we use for Nothing's Carved in Stone's other songs, 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 "Out of Control" 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.
