Recording notes

From A Eulogy for the Damned (2012). A Eulogy for the Damned is the seventh studio album by English stoner metal band Orange Goblin. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange OR120 (Vintage), the rig we use for Orange Goblin's other songs from A Eulogy for the Damned, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-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 "The Filthy & the Few" 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.
