From La donna, il sogno e il grande incubo (1995). La donna, il sogno e il grande incubo (Italian for The Woman, the Dream and the Great Nightmare) is the third studio album by Italian pop group 883, released on 16 June 1995 through FRI by Claudio Cecchetto. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle+bridge pickups together.

The guitar on "Gli anni" (released 1995) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: middle + bridge (position 4) on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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.
Can I play "Gli anni" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Gli anni" 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.
