Recording notes

From Magnolia (2013). Magnolia is the debut studio album by American rock band Turnover. 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 nearest rig we use for Turnover's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

  1. What guitar did Turnover use on "Most of the Time"?

    The guitar on "Most of the Time" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Most of the Time" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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 "Most of the Time" without the original gear?

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