Recording notes

From Imago (2006). Imago is the second full-length album by the Brisbane band The Butterfly Effect. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for The Butterfly Effect's other songs from Imago, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

  3. Can I play "Aisles of White" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Aisles of White" 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.
