From Dust (1996). Dust is the seventh studio album by Screaming Trees, released on June 25, 1996. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Firebird VII through an Ampeg V-4, the rig we use for Screaming Trees' other songs from Dust, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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