From Everything Goes Numb (2003). Everything Goes Numb is the debut studio album by American ska punk band Streetlight Manifesto, released on August 26, 2003. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Peavey Classic 30, the rig we use for Streetlight Manifesto's other songs from Everything Goes Numb, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "A Moment of Silence" 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.
