Recording notes

From Eight Arms to Hold You (1997). Eight Arms to Hold You is the second studio album by alternative rock band Veruca Salt, released on February 11, 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Melody Maker through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Veruca Salt's other songs from Eight Arms to Hold You, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the single pickup.

    The guitar on "One Last Time" (released 1997) isn't documented; the Gibson Melody Maker above gets the sound. Pickup selector: single pickup on the guitar.

  3. Can I play "One Last Time" without the original gear?

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