From Visions of a Life (2017). Visions of a Life is second studio album by English alternative rock band Wolf Alice, released on 29 September 2017 by Dirty Hit. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Wolf Alice's other songs from Visions of a Life, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

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