From Violent Soho (2010). Violent Soho is the second official studio album of Violent Soho, released on 9 March 2010 on the Ecstatic Peace label. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Violent Soho's other songs from Violent Soho, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Here Be Dragons" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Fender Player Jaguar above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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