From Tonight Alright (2004). Tonight Alright is the sixth studio album by Australian alternative rock band Spiderbait, released on 28 March 2004 by Universal Music Australia. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Spiderbait's other songs from Tonight Alright, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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