Recording notes

From Time & Space (2018). Time & Space is the second studio album and major label debut by the American punk rock 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 Time & Space, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    The guitar on "Right to Be" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  3. Can I play "Right to Be" without the original gear?

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