From Dig Out Your Soul (2008). A fast, punky Dig Out Your Soul track. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2 stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

Can I play "Ain't Got Nothin'" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Ain't Got Nothin'" 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.
