From Title TK (2002). Title TK is the third studio album by American alternative rock band the Breeders, released on 20 May 2002 by 4AD in the UK and Elektra Records in the US. The album's personnel list credits Kim Deal, Kelley Deal and Richard Presley with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Breeders' other songs from Title TK, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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