From Bleeds (2025). Bleeds is the sixth studio album by American rock band Wednesday, released on September 19, 2025, on Dead Oceans. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Wednesday's other songs from Bleeds, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Phish Pepsi" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Phish Pepsi" 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.
