Recording notes

From Silent Waters (2007). Silent Waters is the eighth studio album by Finnish progressive metal band Amorphis, released on 29 August 2007 by Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Amorphis' other songs from Silent Waters, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  3. Can I play "Her Alone" without the original gear?

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