From In Reverie (2003). In Reverie is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Saves the Day. 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 In Reverie, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Wednesday the Third" Tone
What guitar did Saves the Day use on "Wednesday the Third"?
The guitar on "Wednesday the Third" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Fender Player Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Wednesday the Third" need?
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 "Wednesday the Third" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wednesday the Third" 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.
