From Away from the Sun (2002). Away from the Sun is the second studio album by the American rock band 3 Doors Down, released by Universal Records on November 12, 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for 3 Doors Down's other songs from Away from the Sun, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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