From Insurgentes (2008). Insurgentes is the debut full-length solo album released by British musician and record producer Steven Wilson, known for being the founder and frontman of progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Charvel Guthrie Govan Signature MJ San Dimas SD24 CM through a Suhr Badger 35, the nearest rig we use for Steven Wilson's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Harmony Korine" Tone
What guitar did Steven Wilson use on "Harmony Korine"?
The guitar on "Harmony Korine" (released 2008) isn't documented; the Charvel Guthrie Govan Signature MJ San Dimas SD24 CM above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Harmony Korine" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 5.5, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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.
Can I play "Harmony Korine" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Harmony Korine" 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.
