Recording notes

From Breathe (2019). Breathe (stylised as breathe) is the fifth studio album by American rock trio Tiny Moving Parts. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline through a Fender Super-Sonic 60, the nearest rig we use for Tiny Moving Parts' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Medicine" Tone

  1. What guitar did Tiny Moving Parts use on "Medicine"?

    The guitar on "Medicine" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "Medicine" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Medicine" without the original gear?

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