Recording notes

From Land of Pleasure (2014). Land of Pleasure is the second studio album by Australian rock band Sticky Fingers, released through Sureshaker in August 2014. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through an Orange AD30, the nearest rig we use for Sticky Fingers' other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the middle pickup. Standard tuning.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 5. 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 "Rum Rage" without the original gear?

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