Recording notes

From When Broken Is Easily Fixed (2003). When Broken Is Easily Fixed is the debut studio album by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein, released in 2003 under the label Victory Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Silverstein's other songs from When Broken Is Easily Fixed, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  3. Can I play "Hear Me Out" without the original gear?

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