From 3 (2017). 3 is the third studio album by Japanese math rock band Tricot. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the nearest rig we use for tricot's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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