Recording notes

From Idols (2025). Idols is the fourth studio album by British musician Yungblud. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for YUNGBLUD's other songs from Idols, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  1. What guitar did YUNGBLUD use on "Suburban Requiem"?

    The guitar on "Suburban Requiem" (released 2025) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Suburban Requiem" without the original gear?

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