From The Clearing (B Sides) (2026). A guitar-driven alt-rock track with a bright, crunchy tone. Premier Guitar has Joff Oddie's main guitar as a 1962 Jaguar reissue with Lollar pickups, played through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III and a Vox AC30C2X, in an undated rundown that appears to postdate Blue Weekend. The rig on this recording isn't documented, so a Fender Player Jaguar into a Vox AC30C2X stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. Tuning isn't documented here.

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