Recording notes

From One More Time (2025). One More Time is a collaborative extended play by the American rock band Aerosmith and the English musician Yungblud, released on 21 November 2025 by Capitol. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Aerosmith's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  3. Can I play "My Only Angel" without the original gear?

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