From Remember That You Will Die (2022). Remember That You Will Die is the fourth studio album by American rock band Polyphia, released on October 28, 2022, by Rise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III, the nearest rig we use for Polyphia's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "The Audacity" (released 2022) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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.
Can I play "The Audacity" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Audacity" 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.
