From Blood Lust (2011). Blood Lust is the second studio album by British band Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the rig we use for Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats' other songs from Blood Lust, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in a tuning that is not one of the standard names: C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯, low to high.

Can I play "Over and Over Again" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Over and Over Again" 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.
