From Leaving Through the Window (2002). Leaving Through the Window is the second studio album and major-label debut by American rock band Something Corporate. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Something Corporate's other songs from Leaving Through the Window, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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