Recording notes

From Tri-Polar (2009). Tri-Polar is the third studio album by Australian rock band Sick Puppies, released on 14 July 2009. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Sick Puppies' other songs from Tri-Polar, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Odd One" Tone

  1. What guitar did Sick Puppies use on "Odd One"?

    The guitar on "Odd One" (released 2009) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "Odd One" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 7.5. 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.

  3. Can I play "Odd One" without the original gear?

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