Recording notes

From Failed at Math(s) (2023). Failed at Math(s) is the debut studio album by British indie rock band Panchiko. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Panchiko's other songs from Failed at Math(s), stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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