From Moseley Shoals (1996). Moseley Shoals is the second album by the British rock group Ocean Colour Scene which was released in 1996 during the Britpop era. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Ocean Colour Scene's other songs from Moseley Shoals, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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