Recording notes

From Nonstop Feeling (2015). Nonstop Feeling is the debut studio album by American hardcore punk band Turnstile. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange Thunder 30, the rig we use for Turnstile's other songs from Nonstop Feeling, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Can't Deny It" 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.
