From Hill Climber (2018). Hill Climber is a 2018 studio album by Vulfpeck. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a clean, snappy funk pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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