Recording notes

From Come Clean (2001). Come Clean is the second studio album and major label debut by the American rock band Puddle of Mudd. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Puddle of Mudd's other songs from Come Clean, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Piss It All Away" 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.
