Recording notes

From Lawn Boy (1990). Lawn Boy is the second studio album by the American rock band Phish. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Hollowbody II through a Mesa Boogie Mark III, the rig we use for Phish's other songs from Lawn Boy, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch 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 "Run Like an Antelope" 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.
