Recording notes

From The Amazons (2017). The Amazons is the debut studio album by British alternative rock band The Amazons. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for The Amazons' other songs from The Amazons, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

    The guitar on "In My Mind" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Gibson Flying V above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "In My Mind" without the original gear?

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