Recording notes

From A Web of Sound (1966). A Web of Sound is the second album by the American garage rock band the Seeds. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Mustang through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for The Seeds' other songs from A Web of Sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  3. Can I play "Up in Her Room" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Up in Her Room" 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.
