From Day for Night (1994). Day for Night is the fourth studio album by the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip, released on 24 September 1994 by MCA. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for The Tragically Hip's other songs from Day for Night, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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