Recording notes

From Diamond Hoo Ha (2008). Diamond Hoo Ha is the sixth studio album by British alternative rock band Supergrass, released in the UK on 24 March 2008, and offers a return to punchier Supergrass songs, in comparison to the more mellow Road to Rouen, their previous album released in 2005. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Telecaster Plus through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the rig we use for Supergrass' other songs from Diamond Hoo Ha, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Supergrass use on "Rebel in You"?

    The guitar on "Rebel in You" (released 2008) isn't documented; the Fender Telecaster Plus above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, 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 "Rebel in You" without the original gear?

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