Recording notes

From From the Inside (1978). From the Inside is the fourth solo and overall eleventh studio album by American rock singer Alice Cooper, released on November 17, 1978. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Alice Cooper's other songs, 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 "Nurse Rozetta" 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.
