From Breathe (2019). Breathe is the fifth studio album by American rock trio Tiny Moving Parts, released on 13 September 2019 by Hopeless Records. 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 rig we use for Tiny Moving Parts' other songs from Breathe, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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