Recording notes

From Firewood (2005). Firewood is the second album by the Swedish occult rock band Witchcraft, released on 8 July 2005 by Rise Above Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the nearest rig we use for Witchcraft's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    The guitar on "Queen of Bees" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  3. Can I play "Queen of Bees" without the original gear?

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