From Monuments to an Elegy (2014). Monuments to an Elegy is the ninth studio album by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins, released on December 9, 2014, on Martha's Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for The Smashing Pumpkins' other songs from Monuments to an Elegy, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "One and All (We Are)" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "One and All (We Are)" 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.
