Recording notes

From Traveler (2019). Traveler is the debut studio album by Japanese band Official Hige Dandism, released on 9 October 2019. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Official HIGE DANdism's other songs from Traveler, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle pickup. Standard tuning.

Common Questions About the "Shukumei" Tone

  1. What guitar did Official HIGE DANdism use on "Shukumei"?

    The guitar on "Shukumei" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: middle pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Shukumei" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 2.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 4.5. 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.

  3. Can I play "Shukumei" without the original gear?

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