Recording notes

From No Sleep (2014). No Sleep is the second studio album by American progressive metalcore band Volumes, released on 15 July 2014 by Mediaskare. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG752AHM Prestige 7-String through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Volumes' other songs from No Sleep, 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 "Across the Bed" 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.
