From Divine Discontent (2002). Divine Discontent is the fourth studio album by Sixpence None the Richer, released on October 29, 2002 by Reprise. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Sixpence None the Richer's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

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