Recording notes

From Somewhere City (2019). Somewhere City is the debut studio album by American emo band Origami Angel. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Origami Angel's other songs from Somewhere City, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Welcome To..." Tone

  1. What guitar did Origami Angel use on "Welcome To..."?

    The guitar on "Welcome To..." (released 2019) isn't documented; the Fender Player Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Welcome To..." need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 7. 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 "Welcome To..." without the original gear?

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