Recording notes

From Bloody Kisses (1993). Bloody Kisses is the third studio album by American gothic metal band Type O Negative, released on 17 August 1993 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 Bloody Kisses, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-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 "Suspended in Dusk" 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.
