Recording notes

From Asking for a Ride (2023). Asking for a Ride is the fourth studio album by American rock band, White Reaper. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Friedman Runt-50, the nearest rig we use for White Reaper's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  3. Can I play "Fog Machine" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Fog Machine" 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.
