How it works

Three things that actually matter

01
Canonical tone

The actual gear and settings documented from interviews, rig rundowns, and records — with source citations and a provenance-backed confidence score. Not fabricated.

02
Your match

We adapt the canonical recipe to the exact guitar, amp, and pedals you own. The closer your rig, the tighter the match. Missing gear is flagged — never silently dropped.

03
Playable now

Discover which famous tones your current rig can already nail, ranked by weighted similarity. Find your next song before you buy anything.

The Vault

Every famous tone, sourced.

Browse documented canonical tones from across rock, metal, blues, country, and beyond. Every component is tagged with where it came from — interview, rig rundown, studio note — and a confidence level derived from the evidence, not from an LLM's guess.

Your Rig

Adapted to what you own.

Declare the guitars, amps, and pedals you actually have. The engine maps the canonical recipe to your exact gear — accounting for amp type, pickup output, and signal chain — and tells you what's exact, equivalent, adapted, or missing.
