From When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes (2011). When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes is the seventh studio album released by American rock band Yellowcard on March 22, 2011 under Hopeless Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the rig we use for Yellowcard's other songs from When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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