From In It for the Money (1997). In It for the Money is the second studio album by English alternative rock band Supergrass, released in 1997. 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 In It for the Money, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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