Recording notes

From Great Divide (2014). Great Divide is the third studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Twin Atlantic. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for Twin Atlantic's other songs from Great Divide, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 5.5, Presence 5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Brothers and Sisters" without the original gear?

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