From Virtue (2018). Virtue is the second studio album by American band the Voidz, released on March 30, 2018, through Cult and RCA. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Voidz's other songs from Virtue, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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