Recording notes

From Onyx (2013). Onyx is the third album by American rock band Pop Evil, released on 14 May 2013 by eOne Music. The album's personnel list credits Nick Fuelling and Dave Grahs with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter C-1 Platinum through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Pop Evil's other songs from Onyx, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Pop Evil use on "Goodbye My Friend"?

    The guitar on "Goodbye My Friend" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Schecter C-1 Platinum above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Goodbye My Friend" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Goodbye My Friend" without the original gear?

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