From Alannah Myles (1989). Alannah Myles is the debut album by Canadian singer Alannah Myles, released on March 28, 1989, by Atlantic Records. 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 rig we use for Alannah Myles' other songs from Alannah Myles, 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 "Still Got This Thing" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
