From Thank You, My Twilight (2002). Thank You, My Twilight is an album released by The Pillows on October 23, 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Mustang through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for the pillows' other songs from Thank You, My Twilight, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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