Recording notes

From Stage Four (2016). Stage Four is the fourth studio album by the American post-hardcore band Touché Amoré. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the rig we use for Touché Amoré's other songs from Stage Four, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Flowers and You" Tone

  1. What guitar did Touché Amoré use on "Flowers and You"?

    The guitar on "Flowers and You" (released 2016) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "Flowers and You" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 6, Mid 5, 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 "Flowers and You" without the original gear?

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