Recording notes

From World Coming Down (1999). World Coming Down is the fifth studio album by the American gothic metal band Type O Negative, released on September 21, 1999 by Roadrunner Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Type O Negative's other songs from World Coming Down, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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