From Rewind, Replay, Rebound (2019). No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Gretsch G6136T White Falcon into a Peavey 6505+ stands in. Set the gain high with a tight low end on the bridge pickup. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.

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