Recording notes

From Isolate and Medicate (2014). Isolate and Medicate is the sixth studio album by South African rock band Seether. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Diezel VH4, the rig we use for Seether's other songs from Isolate and Medicate, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C♯ (C♯ G♯ C♯ F♯ A♯ D♯), a half step below drop C.

  3. Can I play "Suffer It All" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Suffer It All" 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.
