Recording notes

From Tsunami Sea (2025). Tsunami Sea is the second studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Spiritbox. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez Iron Label RGIR30BE through a Line 6 Helix Floor, the nearest rig we use for Spiritbox's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  1. What guitar did Spiritbox use on "Crystal Roses"?

    The guitar on "Crystal Roses" (released 2025) isn't documented; the Ibanez Iron Label RGIR30BE above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Crystal Roses" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "Crystal Roses" without the original gear?

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