From Nothing Is Sound (2005). Nothing Is Sound is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band Switchfoot, released on 13 September 2005 by Columbia/Sony BMG. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Switchfoot's other songs from Nothing Is Sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

Can I play "We Are One Tonight" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "We Are One Tonight" 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.
