From Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...But Three Do (2003). Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...But Three Do (often called Two Lefts) is the third full-length studio album released by Christian rock band Relient K. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Marshall JCM900 2100 SL-X, the rig we use for Relient K's other songs from Two Lefts Don't Make a Right..but Three Do, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Mood Rings" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Mood Rings" 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.
