Recording notes

From Floral Green (2012). Floral Green is the second studio album by American rock band Title Fight. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Title Fight's other songs from Floral Green, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Common Questions About the "Sympathy" Tone

  1. What guitar did Title Fight use on "Sympathy"?

    The guitar on "Sympathy" (released 2012) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Sympathy" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, 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 "Sympathy" without the original gear?

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