Recording notes

From Shrine of New Generation Slaves (2013). Shrine of New Generation Slaves is the fifth studio album by Polish progressive rock band Riverside. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Mayones Setius 6 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Riverside's other songs from Shrine of New Generation Slaves, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

  1. What guitar did Riverside use on "We Got Used to Us"?

    The guitar on "We Got Used to Us" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Mayones Setius 6 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. 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 "We Got Used to Us" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "We Got Used to Us" 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.
