From Through Being Cool (1999). Through Being Cool is the second studio album by American rock band Saves the Day, released on November 2, 1999 by Equal Vision Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Saves the Day's other songs from Through Being Cool, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

The guitar on "All-Star Me" (released 1999) isn't documented; the Fender Player Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, 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.
Can I play "All-Star Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "All-Star Me" 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.
