From Dog Problems (2006). Dog Problems is the second studio album by American rock band The Format; the album was released on July 11, 2006, through the band's label The Vanity Label. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for The Format's other songs from Dog Problems, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "She Doesn't Get It" 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.
