From Short n' Sweet (2024). Short n' Sweet is the sixth studio album by American singer Sabrina Carpenter. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Sabrina Carpenter's other songs from Short n' Sweet, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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